Slow cooker chicken and rice soup. This delicious and filling soup is so easy to make. Just put everything into your slow cooker and let the magic happen!
Folks as we descend into the cooler months of the year you're going to see more delicious soups like this slow cooker chicken and rice soup.
I know it was only a few weeks ago that I brought you the first one, the slow cooker sausage and vegetable soup, but you can never get enough soup at this time of year don't you agree?
What's great about this soup, apart from it tasting amazing of course, is that it's pretty effortless.
There's very little prep work required, fewer than 10 ingredients and you can get on with other stuff whilst this is cooking away in the background!
As you can see from my pictures this is one big bowl of soup!
It's really filling. I like to have my soup at lunchtime, but if you're looking for something to really satisfy you at dinner time you could equally have this chicken and rice soup as your main meal too.
Also, let's not forget that this is also the time of year to consider giving your immune system a good boost.
Studies have shown that a bowl of nourishing chicken soup can sooth such symptoms as the common cold!
If you want to try and save even more time making this soup you could buy the onions, carrots and celery pre-chopped from your local supermarket.
Really though it shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes to prep so I recommend just chopping the veggies yourself for freshness.
For this slow cooker chicken and rice soup make sure that you do not use white rice otherwise you will have a mushy mess by the end!
If you can't get brown rice substitute with wild rice instead. Also do not use any kind of instant rice here. The rice needs to be uncooked from the start.

Slow Cooker Chicken And Rice Soup Recipe
Why not serve this soup with a slice of delicious wholemeal cob loaf?
This soup still tastes amazing after being kept in the fridge for 2 - 3 days but after that I'd recommend freezing it.
To freeze this chicken and rice soup make sure you allow it to cool completely first before portioning into individual containers.

Chicken and wild rice soup is one of my childhood comfort foods! Of course, back then it was from a can. Now it's homemade - homemade is ALWAYS better! I love the slow cooker conversion here, Neil. Like you, I enjoy having soup at lunch during the winter. It's getting cold and blustery here, and that means it's almost time for soup season. This one is going on the list!
Neil
I thought that it was time to bring out my delicious version of that chicken and wild rice soup David! Glad you like it and yes as it's colder here now it's just perfect for lunch. Or dinner! Hope you enjoy it! ๐

Devious, homey, filling, yet light and healthy - this soup will be a perfect option before the holiday season but particularly after all that festive indulgence LOL Definitely my kind of "January Soup"!

Ha ha! You're right Ben! This will probably be one of my most popular soups in January when everyone goes on the usual New Year Health kick!:D

This looks so heart warming, perfect with your cold season up in the Northern Hemisphere

Thanks Raymond. It is indeed necessary to have foods like this to keep up warm at this time of year. I probably would not be eating this there down in the Philippines! ๐
