Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup…Crockpot Style

I’m a sucker for soup. I love to make soups and I love to eat them. Some of my favorite soups include potato soup, chicken noodle, crab bisque, clam chowder, Panera Bread’s Lemon Orzo Chicken, Avgo Lemono and chicken & wild rice soup. Soups pair well with salads, freshly baked bread, and grilled cheese sandwiches.

The soup recipe that I will be sharing with you today is a variation of another chicken and wild rice soup that I previously shared. This version is a simple recipe that utilizes a crockpot.  It’s great for those busy days when you have to work all day, are busy with the kids or have other activities to attend to. Please enjoy this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup of Lundberg Wild Blend Rice 
  • 1 can of sliced carrots (I usually use fresh but all I had on hand were canned carrots.)
  • 1/2 cup of diced celery
  • 1 tsp of dried oregano
  • 1 tsp of dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp of dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup of white wine (I used Pino Grigio)
  • 1 cup of water
  • Salt to taste (add after cooking)

For the cream base (made after the soup cooks in the slow cooker) 

  • 2 tbsp of butter
  • 2 tbsp of cornstarch
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream

Directions

1.  Place the first 10 ingredients into the crockpot. Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
2.  When the soup is done cooking, turn the heat to low. It should look similar to this. 

3.  In a saucepan, melt the butter and then whisk in the cornstarch. Add the milk and the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally. 
4.  Add the milk mixture to the soup and mix well. Gradually add salt. Add a little, mix, taste, add more if needed. It should look something similar to this. 
Enjoy
