You can cook this soup in the crockpot on the low or the high setting. I know I’ve said this before, but meals that cook themselves are always my favorite kind of meals. In goes the chicken broth and a couple cups of water and this chicken wild rice soup will cook itself. Any kind of herb you can think of is in this baby and it makes this soup taste fantastic! I used the 21 seasoning salute from Trader Joe’s for my chicken and wild rice soup. We’re using a whole 2 tablespoons (yes, you read that right) so we want our seasoning to be free of salt. Make sure to use regular wild rice, you don’t want to use the parboiled wild rice as they will get really mushy.Īlso, my recipe calls for a seasoning blend. You’re also going to need a couple of bay leaves, some garlic, and of course one must use wild rice in chicken and wild rice soup. I chopped up my own veggies but if you’re in a pinch you can always just substitute store bought mirepoix mix. We start by tossing a pound of boneless, skinless chicken into the crockpot with some carrots, onions, and celery. Like most of my slow cooker soup recipes, this one is a breeze to whip up. But there went a whole day from my weekend, stolen right from under my nose! My poor throat thanks me times a million. Luckily for me, I had a big slow cooker full of this creamy chicken wild rice soup to slurp up all Sunday. And the kind where you run through a few boxes of Kleenex per hour. You know the kind of sick where you go from laying in bed to laying in front of the TV to drinking soup for every meal of the day and still not being able to tell the taste difference between soup and oatmeal. And I mean really sick. Like theres-so-much-congestion-between-my-brain-and eyes-that-it’s-making-my-face-hurt, sick. <- If playing cards in your pajamas counts as partying! After what seemed like 8 hours of cleaning (but it was probably more like 2), we invited our neighbors over for a little dessert and a movie night. 🙂 This weekend just happened to be one of those crazy cleaning weekends.

And because I get cranky doing it all by myself, the husband gets wrangled into cleaning with me. It’s not that it was super messy or anything. I get on these crazy cleaning streaks where I.must.clean.

The hubby and I spent most of Saturday scrubbing our entire apartment from top to bottom. Even though this weekend went by lightening fast, I did accomplish a few main goals:

Whose with me for scraping it all and doing it over? Don’t you hate it when it’s Friday and you’re all like hip-hip hooray and before you know it, it’s Sunday evening and you’re asking yourself ‘where did the weekend go’? You’ve managed to sneak up on me once again. This soup is loaded with carrots, celery, boneless chicken and of course, wild rice! It’s the perfect slow cooker meal for a chilly winter night! The best part is, you’ve probably got most of these ingredients at home already! A warm and cozy chicken wild rice soup made right in the slow cooker.
