Directions



Remove the skin from the chicken and shred the meat from the bone. Put the chicken into a slow cooker along with the onions, celery, and carrots. Stir in broth, canned soups, and herbs and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on high setting for 3 to 4 hours or low for 8 to 9 hours.



About 20-30 minutes before serving, stir in egg noodles. Adjust seasonings and serve.

New England Clam Chowder by Peggy Singleton


1 pint chucked clams, chopped or minced


4 oz pork, diced or 2 slices bacon, cut up


4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced


½ cup chopped onion


2 ½ cups milk


1 cup light cream (I use half and half)


½ t salt


Dash of pepper



Drain clams and reserve liquid. Cook and stir onion and bacon in 2-quart saucepan until onion is tender and bacon is crisp. Add enough water, if necessary, to reserved clam liquid to measure 1 cup. Stir clams, liquid, potato, salt and pepper into onion mixture. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer until potato is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in milk; heat through, stirring occasionally. I add about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to taste. Makes 6 servings.


I triple this recipe to serve 18-20.
