DOGS

Chicken Soup for Dogs

Ingredients

Unseasoned, uncooked chicken

3 large carrots

1 stalk of celery 

1 sweet potato

Handful of raw green beans

1 tsp chicken base (no onion)

Water

Directions

1. Using your preferred method, start cooking the chicken. We used a slow cooker. Do not add any seasonings!
2.  While the chicken is cooking, chop up the carrots, celery, sweet potato, and green beans.
3. Place into a large pot, and add just enough water to cover the vegetables. If you are using the chicken base, you can add 1 tsp in now.
4. Simmer the veggies on the stove on low for about 1 hour.
5. When the chicken is done, skim off any fat from the broth. Take ½ cup of bone broth and mix in with the veggies on the stove.
6. Shred the chicken and add to the broth and veggies mixture. 
7. Add soup to a bowl, on top of kibble, or on its own. 
8. Store the remaining soup in the fridge or freezer for future use.
