put vegis, herbs and spices into a crock pot/slow cooker, and mix together with hands. Nestle the chicken into the vegis. Put the wine and water into the crock pot, small splash of wine or champagne vinegar. Set the counter top crock pot on LOW for 8-10 hours. Do this in the morning before you leave the house, and you will come home to yummy soup The chicken will fall off the bones (you May want to remove the bones before serving. One way to do this is to loosely wrap the chicken in cheese cloth before putting into the crock pot. When the chicken is cooked the cheese cloth package can be lifted out and the the chicken can be boned... but I never do this. I should because it is a PIA to remove the bones! )
