PREP/PREPARE

2
Gather your ingredients.
3
Add the bacon to a skillet over medium heat.
4
Cook until beginning to crisp.
5
Drain on paper towels and reserve.
6
Add the chicken stock, to the bowl of a slow cooker.
7
Add the chicken, sausage, and onions.

Slow cook on low for 90 minutes.
9
After 90 minutes add the potatoes, celery, peas, carrots, red pepper flakes, cumin, cayenne. Then add some salt and pepper, to taste.
10
Chef’s Note: As the temperature gets colder, I find myself adding a bit more red pepper flakes, and maybe even a bit more cayenne; conversely, as the weather warms up, I add less.
11
Chef’s Tip: This dish relies on good seasoning, so taste, then season… taste, then season.
12
Slow cook on low for an additional 90 minutes.
13
PLATE/PRESENT

Plate with a bed of ramen noodles, and then garnish with the reserved bacon, sesame seeds, and maybe a soft-boiled egg. Enjoy.
