Crock Pot Chicken and Rice Soup
A few days ago I shared our Crock Pot Curry Soup and, let me just say, you’ll want to add that recipe to your menu too! This recipe is just as easy and it is made with brown rice, fresh vegetables, chicken broth, and garlic, this healthy crockpot soup is easy to make, hearty, and filling! Crockpot Chicken Rice Soup is SO simple to make. On a cool fall or winter night, it goes perfectly with side salad, a warm grilled, sandwich, or a piece of buttery bread. All of the ingredients go in the slow cooker and a nice, warm soups awaits six hours later.
The healthy ingredients include brown jasmine rice, carrots and celery, garlic, and onion. We place sprigs of thyme on top of the soup in the crock pot while it’s cooking to infuse some extra flavor. We then remove the thyme just before serving. To make it pretty, you could add a fresh little sprig on top of the soup in the bowl or on the side. I also like to add Tabasco to mine, but I love spicy things, so that’s optional too! You could sprinkle some cheese on top, a spoonful of sour cream, croutons, or whatever you like.
