Knotted's Chicken Soup

3 lbs frozen chicken thighs (minus the one that slipped into the garbage disoposal...ewwww)

1/2 head of garlic, cloves chopped in half

Thumb-sized knob of ginger, sliced thin

palm full of whole peppercorns

3 big splashes of soy sauce

4 handfuls of brown rice

All tossed into the crock pot with enough water to cover. I plan to repeat the garlic and maybe the ginger and probably the soy sauce after it cooks a while.

Dog has given up trying to figure out how to get into the garbage for the chicken skin and the thigh that fell into the disposal. He's curled up on the bed, waiting for me to fall asleep again, plotting his revenge.
