The Consumption: RIDIC Asian-Style Chicken Soup

After reading through the ingredients, I was stoked to begin preparation...

My mom (pictured to the left) and I cut all the veggies and stored them together with the fresh grated ginger. Then we marinated the chicken in soy sauce and let sit over night. This time I cut everything the night before so I could come home after a long day of work and simply throw it all in the crock.

At 7PM, I dumped the chicken, veggies, broth, water and garlic into my slow cooker. I eyed the amount of crushed red pepper by shaking until I could really smell it; learning that measuring spoons really do have a purpose!

After cooking on High for 2 1/2 hours, I put 10 more mins on the timer and added the sugar snap peas, spinach and egg to the crock.

By this time the kitchen smelled DELISH and I couldn't wait to show off my new moves to my favorite NSB couple, Tyler and Swiss. Everyone was unanimous:

"This was one of the best crock recipes we ever had!"


"Good till the last drop!"

The French's Fried Onions were a yummy addition to the soup and a necessity to help take the spice down a notch!

  1. I agree! This is one of the best recipes I've made in the slow cooker.

    Did you serve it with the rice noodles? That was a big hit when I made it here. Oh, the chopstick video...very helpful! ;)

    As far as the crushed red pepper....you might want to stick to measuring, when it comes to the spicy stuff! hahaaa!!

    Glad you enjoyed it!
