Enjoy this chicken and rice slow cooker soup. A quick and easy recipe that you can put together early and serve for lunch or dinner in no time.
Comfort food, cure for a cold, hearty and warming, there's nothing like a good chicken soup. Though I do think if you have the time to make it from scratch similar to my mother-in-law's chicken pot pie you should.
However, a busy schedule shouldn't keep you from having great food for yourself and your family, so I often resort to the slow cooker.
This time it's chicken and rice slow cooker soup. I grew up eating a lot of rice dishes. However, you can add noodles when you take out the chicken to shred it and skip the rice if you want.
How to Make Chicken and Rice Slow Cooker Soup
Add all the vegetables to the bottom of your slow cooker.
Top them with boneless skinless chicken breasts seasoned with salt and black pepper and toss in a bay leaf for added flavor.
