Crock Pot Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

[hoggs222]

I just made this one today and altered a recipe I found online and it turned out pretty well!

* 1-1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed (I cut mine while they were partially frozen. Makes it easier)

* 3/4 cup uncooked wild rice

* 1/2 cup white or jasmine rice

* 3 larger carrots sliced (I cut mine in half after slicing)

* 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced

* 1 large yellow onion, chopped

* 6 cups water

* 2-1/2 tablespoons Chicken Flavored Bouillon Granules

* 1-1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

(To flavor)

*Garlic

*Cayenne Powder (enough to give it flavor, not to heat it up!)

*Rosemary

*Thyme

*bay leaves (I used 4)

In large (6-quart) crock pot, combine all ingredients (just throw the chicken in raw) with the exception of the heavy cream and flour. Cover and cook on the low heat setting for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.

Just before serving, combine the heavy cream and the flour. Slowly stir the cream mixture into the soup. Cook and stir constantly for 5 minutes or until mixture is slightly thickened. (I did this and then turned my crock pot to warm for a few hours before eating it)

You can serve with sliced almonds if you want to. I just whipped up some croissants for the side.

I basically use the same recipe except I add 2 things to it.....cubed potatoes and 5-6 crumbled strips of bacon.

Tried this last night. It was tasty! I think next time I will add some mushrooms and use all wild rice instead of a wild/white mix.

Yeah, I have meade this three times and its gooooood. I tried the muchrooms and that adds alot... I also cut down on the white rice and put more wild rice in the mix.

MMMMMMM

I was thinking of doing the same with no white rice. It kind of disappears. I'm cool on the mushrooms though. Last one I accidentally ate, I puked in the garbage disposal.

My wife makes up two big crocks for deer hunting of chicken wild rice soup...man its GOOD...glad you brought this up, I'll have to see if she can make some more!

Stick with 100% wild rice. Thats my only add to the recipe.

I just made this again today with the bacon added and only wild rice. I also mixed in 2 tbsp of butter at the end and it's even better!
