Instructions

1. Put the onion, carrots, celery, chicken parts*, 1¼ teaspoons salt, pepper, parsley, thyme and water into the cooking pot of the Multicooker.

2. Cover and set unit to Slow Cook on High for 6 hours. Once unit switches to Keep Warm, remove the chicken from the pot and then switch unit back to Slow Cook on High to bring soup to a heavy simmer.

3. Allow the parts to cool and remove and discard all skin and bones; shred or chop the meat and put back into the pot. Once the soup is simmering, add the noodles. Simmer until the noodles are cooked through (refer to package instructions of particular noodles). Once the noodles are cooked through, stir in the peas.

4. Switch unit to Keep Warm until serving.

*If using shredded chicken for the MSC-400 model, stir in during step 3, not in the first step with the vegetables.
