Mince the garlic.

Fry them both until soft and translucent. Pop them into your slow cooker.

Dice the celery and throw that in the slow cooker.

Add about 200g of butter and give it a stir.
Cook on low for between 5 and 8 hours.

If you’re not serving your Chicken and Mushroom Soup straight away portion it into freezer tubs and let it cool completely before freezing. Don’t forget to label your freezer tubs!
Let it defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat on the hob or in the microwave.
I like this soup with a fresh baked roll and butter.
