If you’re on the search for an easy soup recipe, you’ve come to the right place. This essentially cooks itself while you take care of more important things. Just chop up carrots and celery, toss the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker, and let your Crockpot do the work while you work or take care of other items.
I have been a full-time professional and I’ve been a stay-at-home mom. I’ve also done both where I worked full-time and raised my kid. Both stay-at-home parenting and working full-time is time-consuming and there’s nothing better than adding your ingredients to your Crockpot or slow cooker in the morning, turning it on, and letting the Crockpot do the work for you. If you’re a busy person like me, then you want to make a healthy family meal quickly. At least I know I do!
My insanely delicious Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup contains a yellow onion, carrots, celery, chicken stock, water, chicken breast, salt, pepper, and egg noodles and is one popular family recipe in my home!
Benefits of Celery
Celery, onion, and carrots help keep this recipe healthy and help it to taste delicious. In fact, the fiber in celery can benefit the digestive and cardiovascular systems as celery contains antioxidants that may help to prevent disease. According to Medical News Today’s article, celery contains a plant compound known as apigenin, which is used in traditional Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant agent. It may also contain properties that help fight cancer.
According to authors of a 2016 analysis, laboratory tests have shown that apigenin may contribute to apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death, which could potentially make it useful as part of cancer treatment.
In another study conducted in 2015 in mice, researchers found that apigenin and apigenin-rich diets reduced the expression of certain inflammatory proteins. These findings support that these substances may reduce inflammation and restore the balance of the immune system.
So, if you’re wondering if you should eat celery daily, I think you know that the answer is most definitely!
