I would really like more slow cooker recipes. Just recently purchased one and can't wait to try it out.

[@glendaplant9032]

I love my slow cooker and will try this soup recipe soon. Thanks. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@anniessmokingpot]

I love soup and when you do it in the slow cooker, the smell becomes so enticing in the whole house that you can't wait for dinner time 😀 thank you so much dear friend for sharing 😘 😊 ❤Annie

[@nic6951]

The book is amazing ...absolutely love the QR codes linking it to the you tube tutorial where you make it all look so simple. Really takes the complexity & fear out of cooking! Thank you

[@MelvisVelour]

This looks yummy, especially on a very cold day like we're having in Texas at the moment. I would brown the chicken, it's worth that little extra step.

[@elijahheyes9061]

Wonderful winter warmer Nicky. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@francesmunro9666]

Great recipe Nicky thank you cx👍👍👍

[@Neiltendo.64]

Looks lovely. Does anyone else find that onions don’t cook well in the slow cooker, unless you brown them first?

[@majash2695]

It's absolutely delicious.

[@maxineblocker3537]

I'm making mine with beef😊

[@Mike_5]

Works great if you grate the veg too sort of intensifies the flavour but on the other hand your recipe is fantastic for peeps who are new to slow cooking Nikki so no fuss cooking 🙃

[@kentravischester2368]

Great job

[@simonapatrascu5786]

Fab, i will make this today!

[@manow4011]

[@lorrainej4555]

Trying this tonight. I’m originally from Scotland, so no stranger to soup. 😂 Great to use the slow cooker in this time of high energy bills.👍

[@robertbrown8416]

[@mariajoannou9936]

Oooh yummy ❤

[@carlbeardmore4605]

where can i buy extra tasty stock from?

[@Mrwebbob]

Looks good Nicky , was wondering how much would you reduce the broth if you wanted to eat it as a meal instead of soup .

[@baggy79]

Reduce until you're happy

[@kentravischester2368]

Make a chicken and rice recipe by boiling it

[@davidgeorgemarr8694]

Am new to cooking... just bought a slow cooker... this looks great and idiot proof!!... Quick question?... Do you advise to brown the chicken?... I take it that intensifies the flavour? Going to give it a go tomorrow for sure...

[@jodybobble]

You can brown it first; as Nikki said, she used a heavy (rich) stock to make up for the fact she didn't brown the meat.

[@kayjohnson9133]

Could you use chicken breasts for this recipe instead of the bone in chicken please?

[@edwardetherington8031]

Well I’m going to try it with chicken breast Kay 👍🤞

[@jodybobble]

Good luck! I hope your cooking journey is a delight for you and those you feed! x@@edwardetherington8031

[@GregSzarama]

I love that your videos aren't 10 min long. Thank you!

[@jslammon]

Now you’re taking.

[@SlouchingBadger]

Make a bechamel sauce with cheese and add it to the soup with some broccoli and you've got a delicious, thick chichen and broccoli cheese soup.

[@njwtube]

That sounds revolting

[@SlouchingBadger]

@@njwtube I just tried to watch that video on your channel. You know what actually sounds revolting? You got one guess.

[@njwtube]

@@SlouchingBadger thick cheese broccoli soup would be my guess. Thanks for the support 🙏 I didn't even know I had a video !

[@geminil2415]

I think that would improve it a lot, or remove the chicken and bay leaves then liquidise the veg, put chicken back in for a thick soup. I do not recognise veg and meat in a bowl of watery liquid as soup.

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

@@geminil2415Very traditional in the UK to have a broth based hearty chicken & vegetable soup. Not all soups have to be full of fat or thick & clog to our organs lol. Thick soups serve a purpose & are lovely, as are broth based soups.

[@endlessdreamkitchen]

❤❤❤❤👍👍😍😍

[@kieranarnold4914]

I have just got normal chicken stock is that ok

[@sashkad9246]

needs a squeeze of lemon!

[@fcukwork]

End of video 😣😖😩❤

[@johnnabanki3161]

Want cookbook 1:56 2:01

[@nataliehelmig920]

Looks yummy but what if you don't have a slow cooker?

[@milkshake3350]

Use a pan, it will be ready in an hour. No need for a slow cooker for this.

[@deeryker]

I do this once a week, my version always includes fresh thyme and skin off the chicken before cooking. I dispense with the slow cooker and just cass er ole one and half hours. there ye go,,,simples. You look radiant in this little vid,,,it comes easy to you. In passing, I must mention one of your followers,,,a,Mr Hat.. He comments on my comment and compliments to your good self. I fear the aforementioned has issues which need addressing. Do you have a recipe for slow boil in the bag or pot, hat?. My hair in the 60's was like yours, the wimmen went mad for me. Jus sayin is all
