How to prepare crockpot chicken vegetable soup

For this recipe, there is very little pre-prepping. Mostly chopping the vegetables. Since this is an older recipe, I have purchased a vegetable chopper. This helps cut down the time spent on the prep work.

I prefer to sauté the onions and garlic… If you don't have a saute option in your crockpot or slow cooker, do this on the stove and add the vegetables to the crockpot. Sauting helps to start the flavor process. Honestly, you could probably omit that step if you need to.

Prep and Slow Cooking Assembly

First, you will wash and chop your veggies.

Next, add in your non-cooked carrots, celery, and zucchini.
Pour the second box of organic chicken broth into the crock pot/slow cooker. But make sure there is enough room for the entire box. Reserve any in the fridge and use it up as needed by adding it later or in another recipe.

Halfway through the cooking process

Add half a cup of wild rice, about 2-3 hours into the process. (Adding the wild rice is optional.)
When your chicken has reached the proper cooked internal temperature of 165°F (meat thermometer) – Take it out, chop it into bite-size pieces, and add it back to the soup.

Finishing With Cream and Serving

Optional: Add heavy cream to the soup. I like to add some warm broth to the measured cream to temper the cream, then add it to the crockpot.
When ready to serve, garnish with chopped parsley.
The spices are salt, pepper, thyme, sage, celery salt, and 2 bay leaves. Full measurements are in the recipe card with a printable recipe.

When it is done, ladle into soup bowls and enjoy! Keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a few days, covered and stored properly.
