• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 3 medium carrots, sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds
• 3 medium parsnips, sliced into ¼-inch-thick half-moons
• 2 stalks celery, peeled and finely sliced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 2 -inch piece Parmesan rind
• 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup frozen peas
• ½ cup loosely packed fresh dill fronds, chopped (about 1 small bunch)
• Grated Parmesan and lemon, for serving

Instructions:

Combine the chicken breasts, chicken broth, 2 cups of water, carrots, parsnips, celery, onions, Parmesan rind, curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove the chicken breasts. When cool enough to handle, shred the meat (discard the bones) and add back to the soup; add the peas and dill. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve in soup bowls with a sprinkle of Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.
