A Classic Crock-Pot Chicken and Rice Soup:

I love soup! It’s always been one of my favorites, something about that is so warm and comforting. This Crock-Pot Chicken and Rice Soup is a classic recipe.

When the seasons change and everyone is getting sick this recipe is actually my favorite to serve. During those seasons I always keep these ingredients on hand, just in case.

Some of my favorite soups are my Taco Soup, Vegetable Soup, and my Broccoli Cheese Soup.

How to make Crock-Pot Chicken and Rice Soup:

It’s made with boneless and chicken breast, veggies, and rice. Seasoned to perfection and served warm, it’s the perfect soup!

Ingredients:

Chicken Breast: boneless and skinless.
Seasoning: I used garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Unsalted Butter
Chicken Broth
Veggies: I used carrots, celery, and onion.
Instant Rice: I used white rice.

Directions:

Step one: Place all ingredients into your slow cooker except for your rice.

You will be cooking and adding this in later. I found this to be the best way so the rice does not get mushy during cooking.

Once all ingredients are in the slow cooker then allow cooking on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5 hours or until your chicken is tender and cooked through.

Step two: Once your chicken is cooked through remove it from your soup and shred. Once shredded at it back to your soup and mix well.

Step three: Prepare instant rice according to the package directions. Once cooked add to your soup and mix well. When all ingredients are incorporated serve and enjoy.

Tip: Cooking the rice separately will help it from getting mushy. Since it only takes 5 minutes extra I prefer it this way.

Freezing Chicken and Rice Soup:

This soup is great for freezing. You can cook and add in the rice or add it in when it’s time to heat up. Either way will work but I like to wait and add it in later.

Once your soup is ready, cool it to room temperature. Place your soup in a large freezer bag and seal. Lay your soup flat in the freezer.

When you are ready to serve place it in the fridge overnight to thaw then heat as needed.
