Are you looking for a new crockpot soup recipe? Recently I made a Crockpot Chicken Vegetable Soup that we really enjoyed. I adapted a chicken soup recipe I spotted on Pinterest. Today’s soup recipe has now been added to our easy crockpot recipes for meal planning, and meal rotation. As it was a hit with everyone in the family.

This recipe is packed with fresh, seasonal vegetables, organic chicken, and organic chicken broth. Which is perfect for when your looking for dinner ideas that are healthy, and delicious.

With winter coming, we bring out the soup bowls often. But, if you have been reading our blog for any time now you know that my daughter’s favorite meal is a homemade soup.

The recipe I spotted was more stew like but, I wanted it more soup-y. There’s a few ways you can adapt this recipe to suit your tastes. We added a touch of cream but, it can easily be left out for a non dairy version. Either way, I guarantee this is delicious soup recipe. Let’s get cooking. 

Crockpot Chicken Vegetable Soup 

This crockpot chicken vegetable soup recipe is so easy! You'll love making, and eating this soup. Add the cream or leave it out. Packed full of healthy vegetables. Quick prep, set and let it cook. #crockpotsouprecipes #crockpotchickensoup #chickenvegetablesoup DearCreatives.com

For this recipe, there is very little pre-prepping. Mostly chopping, and I prefer to sauté the onions, garlic… to start the flavor process. Honestly, you could probably omit that step if you need to. 

How to prepare crockpot chicken vegetable soup

fresh seasonal vegetables for chicken vegetable soup recipe

First you will wash, and chop your veggies. 

Peel, and chop your onions, peel and mince your garlic. 

Sauteed onions, garlic, red pepper, and parsley for soup

Sauté your onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and mushrooms in olive oil until the onion is translucent. Toss in parsley and stir for a minute or two. Take off heat.

Next add in your non-cooked carrots, celery, and zucchini.

Pour the second box of organic chicken broth in. I say do it this way to make sure you have enough room for the entire box.

Half way through the cooking process

  • Add in half a cup of wild rice. (About 2-3 hours in process. Adding the wild rice is optional.)
  • When your chicken has reached the proper cooked internal temperature. Take it out, and chop into bite size pieces, and add it back to soup. 
  • Optional add heavy cream to 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. 

Spices are salt, pepper, thyme, sage, celery salt, and 2 bay leaves.
