Slow Cooker Chicken And Rice Soup

FavoritePinShare

This slow cooker chicken and rice soup is an easy and comforting meal that’s perfect for cold nights!

My slow cooker is my go-to for those extra busy days when it seems like I’ll never have time to make dinner! This chicken and rice soup is a family favorite; it’s healthy, easy to make and kid friendly. It’s great for a chilly day or for when you’re feeling under the weather. Best of all, it’s super easy to make!

The ingredients for this slow cooker chicken and rice soup are quite simple. We’ve got veggies, chicken breasts, chicken broth, garlic and herbs. One pitfall to making chicken and rice soup in a slow cooker is that if you put the rice in with the other ingredients in the morning, it will be quite soft by the time you’re ready to eat. Some people don’t mind this, but others prefer their rice to be on the firmer side. If you choose to put your rice in at the beginning of the cook time with the other ingredients, you’ll want to use brown rice as it will stand up to the long slow cooking process. What I typically do is add the rice during the last hour of the cook time. Another alternative is to simply stir some cooked rice in right before you’re ready to eat. However you decide to cook the rice, it’ll still be delicious!

I often serve this soup with a side of cornbread or garlic bread for a hearty meal that satisfies even my most picky eaters. If you’re more of a chicken noodle soup kind of person, you can swap out the rice for egg noodles and add them during the last hour for a little different twist on this recipe. However you decide to serve it, it’s sure to be a hit! Other Recipes You Might Like: All nutritional information is based on third party calculations and is only an estimate.

My boyfriend and I love this and I’m currently making more broth to sip as I type this. Thank you I followed the recipe exactly (minus the fresh parsley, which I didn’t have on hand), and the only issue I had is that the rice absorbed all of the broth. So I added an additional 6 cups of chicken broth to the soup after it was done cooking, and then it was perfect.

XOXO I wonder if it would be better to sautee them before putting them in the slow cooker. The onions don’t seem to do well in the slow cooking recipe??
