LOW SALT ONION SOUP MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Add the chicken, carrots, onion, celery, and garlic to the slow cooker. Drizzle the olive oil over ingredients and mix to coat with the oil.
• Add the chicken broth, water, thyme, rosemary, sage, celery seed, bay leaves, and black pepper. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours on low heat.
• Remove the cooked chicken and let it rest for 10 minutes, then dice or shred into bite size pieces. While the chicken is resting, add the noodles and parsley to the pot, cover, and cook on high for the ten minutes the chicken rests. 
• Return the diced chicken to the soup and mix in. Serve the soup warm. 

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a saucepan until foaming, then add the onions and cook for 10 mins until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Pour over the cider, then add the potato and thyme sprigs and simmer for another 2 mins. Stir in the stock and cream, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 mins until the potato is soft. Remove and discard the thyme, transfer the soup to a blender and blitz until smooth.
• To make the cheese & apple toasts, heat the grill to high. Toast the bread on both sides, then mix the cheese, dried apple and onion together. Pack the mixture onto the toasts, then grill until melted and golden. Pour the soup into bowls, scatter over the apple matchsticks and thyme leaves, then serve with the toasts.
