CHICKEN VEGETABLE CHOWDER

Steps:

• In a large slow cooker, combine everything up to the chicken. Then layer the chicken on top. Lastly pour the stock over all of it, and let cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
• When the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are soft, remove the chicken bones and fat. Then, remove about a third of the vegetables and some of the broth and blend them until smooth. Return the blended mixture to the chowder, and stir well. This should act as a thickener of sorts.
• Now add the cubed zucchini and continue to cook for about twenty minutes until the zucchini is soft.
• Stir in the sour cream and serve.
