    450 g Carrots
    365g Onion (one large).
    3 large stalks celery (11"-12").

Tips

Dried Bean is hard like macaroni and comes in several shapes or forms. Even tied in a bow! This can be located in Asian groceries. When selecting the dried bean curd check the carb count on the package. This can vary quite a bit from manufacturer but you should look for about 5g of carbs per oz or less.


Directions

Add 9-10 cups water to 6 qt or larger slow cooker.
Cut Carrots into disc's.
Dice Onion and Celery and add all vegetables and chicken to cooker.
Break dried Bean Curd into bite or broad noodle size pieces and add to cooker.
Add Peppercorns and salt to cooker.
Cook on high for 2 hours then set on low and cook for another 6 to 8 hours.
Stir gently every 2 to 3 hours.
After chicken is tender remove all meat from bone and remove bones.
As with most chicken soup I find it is better after cooling overnight in the frig and reheating.
This recipe is low sodium at 300g per serving. Most canned soup has 700g per cup. You might find you want to add a little salt substitute if you prefer a salter flavor.
