I’ve made this soup a couple of times; it’s quite tasty. I’ve found that 1 lb of chicken is plenty. Also, the 2nd time I made it I added a 16 oz bag of frozen mixed vegetable, since the smaller bag didn’t seem like enough. There isn’t all that much “broth,” so if you’d like it a bit more soupy, perhaps add more chicken broth.
Hello,
Your recipe looks delicious! I’m fairly new at crockpot recipes- can you answer me this please-
Do you add the rice uncooked and it cooks itself, or do you always add the rice already cooked?
Hi Alison! This particular recipe has the rice go in uncooked. Thanks to cooking in the slow cooker for so long, the rice comes out perfectly cooked. Hope that helps! Let me know how it turns out 🙂
i don’t have a slow cooker can i use instead the old-fashioned way on the stove?
Absolutely! It might be easiest to have the chicken pre-cooked and shredded then add to the soup. Then you should be able to make this soup in a fraction of the time on the stovetop.
Is no.2 directions incorrect by any chance? I’ve never known of cooking in the crock pot on high heat longer time than lower heat.
Hi Linda! Yes, that was a typo. Thanks so much for reaching out! I have it corrected now.
