Description

A comforting and hearty chicken and wild rice soup, perfect for cold days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 1 small onion or large shallot (minced)
  • 2 carrots (thinly sliced (~1 cup))
  • 2 ribs celery (thinly sliced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (pressed or minced)
  • 11/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried ground sage
  • small pinch dried rosemary (crushed between your fingers)
  • 1 large or 2 small bay leaves
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup Wild Blend Rice (Lundberg Farms recommended)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients into a 6-quart crock pot.
  2. Cook on LOW for 4 hours or until chicken breasts are cooked through. Rice should be done around the same time.
  3. Shred chicken then stir back into soup and serve. Soup will thicken slightly as it cools.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider sautéing the onions, carrots, and celery in the butter before adding to the crock pot.
