Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

The ultimate creamy comfort food. And finally something even my picky daughter will eat! We are keeping this on the list all winter since it was pretty much a favorite with the whole family. I was a little bummed that there were no leftovers because I was actually looking forward to another bowl for lunch the next day! But I can never be too sad about a meal that makes everyone happy.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

If you thought this sounded good just from the name, then wait until you hear how easy the prep is. NOTHING to chop. Seriously. Truly a simple wholesome meal. Use frozen carrots and mushrooms to make it easy without compromising on nutrition. Just toss the chicken in as whole pieces and it will be so tender you can just break it apart with a fork before you serve it.

Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Add your cream and rice about an hour to an hour and a half before dinner time. The perfect time to take a walk, clean up some dishes, help kids with homework or whatever you need to do without stress. Well, maybe stress from homework but at least no stress from cooking!!

Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Serve this up with some crusty bread or your favorite biscuits and enjoy this delicious dinner this week!!

    This is a delicious recipe. The rice took 2 hours, on high, to cook in my slow cooker. I used 1 1/2 cups rice and when I heated the leftovers it was more like a casserole as the cream was completely absorbed by the rice. Left overs were still absolutely delicious!!!!
    Also, I could not find frozen mushrooms or carrots so I used fresh and they worked perfectly!

    How much rice did you use? The recipe says anywhere from 1 – 1 1/2 cups of wild rice, curious to know how it affects the consistency of the meal If I maximize the rice. I have never made chicken & wild rice soup. I usually buy it at Panera bread or in a progressive soup can. Thanks…

      Hi Martha! I used more like 1 1/2 but if you want it a little more soupy I’d recommend only 1 cup.

    Will this recipe freeze well?

      You could definitely make it up ahead of time with everything except the rice and cream and freeze it before cooking. I did freeze some of the leftovers and it reheated reasonably well although the cream does separate a bit.

    This sounds amazing, Could I leave out the mushrooms, and maybe put in broccoli at a later time?

      Yes, I think that would work! I’d chop the broccoli a little smaller before adding it.

    When combining the ingredients you say add everything except the cream and broth and then cook. Then later you said to add the cream and rice. Am I missing something?
