15 - ½ lemon, juiced (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, slice the carrots, chop celery, dice the onion, and mince the garlic. Cut chicken thighs into uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
02 - Place sweet potatoes and carrots at the bottom of the crockpot. Add celery, onion, garlic, and chicken pieces on top. Sprinkle evenly the gluten-free chicken bouillon, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, sea salt, and black pepper.
03 - Pour the gluten-free chicken broth over the layered ingredients, gently stir to combine, and embed the bay leaf into the mixture.
04 - Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until chicken is fully cooked and sweet potatoes are tender yet intact.
05 - Just before serving, stir in fresh lemon juice to brighten flavors if desired.
06 - Remove bay leaf and ladle soup into bowls. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley for added freshness and color. Serve hot.

# Handy Tips:

01 - For richer flavor, brown chicken pieces in a skillet before adding to the crockpot. Cut vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking. Layering denser vegetables at the bottom promotes consistent texture.
