How to make Crockpot chicken wild rice soup

Place the rice, seasoning and chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Add the vegetables on top and pour in the chicken broth. Cook on low for 8 hours. Take the chicken out and shred it. Pour the melted butter, flour and milk mix into the soup and stir to combine. Stir in the shredded chicken and serve.

Can you make it ahead of time?

Yes! Soups are so good for weekly meal prep. I often make a batch on the weekend and then enjoy it throughout the week. Once you have made it, transfer it to an airtight container and it will keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the soup on a medium heat on the stovetop, stirring occassionally, until heated through. Alternatively, you can heat it in the microwave on full power for 3 minutes, stirring halfway through. Take care to only reheat the chicken soup once.

Can you freeze it?

This crockpot chicken wild rice soup is perfect for freezer meals. I’m sure i’m not the only one who always has soup in her freezer! Place the cooled soup into freezer bags for safe containers and it will keep well for up to 6 months. Thaw the frozen soup in the fridge overnight before reheating.

What’s the best cut of chicken to use?

I like to use skinless and boneless chicken breasts for this recipe. They contain less fat, but I also find them easier to shred than thighs. You can, of course, use thighs in this recipe if that’s what you have. This Crockpot chicken wild rice soup is just the thing to warm up with after a long winter day. It’s so flavorful, but so effortless to make, I just know you are going to love it!

Can I use pre-cooked rice?

For best results, it’s best to use dried wild rice. If you only have pre-cooked to hand, add it in towards the end of cooking with the cream.

Can I use noodles instead of rice?

Pasta noodles require less cooking time than rice. If you want to swap the rice for noodles, add them in when you add the cream so that they don’t overcook.

Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

Absolutley! You can use a turkey breast or add in cooked shredded turkey towards the end of cooking.
