Chicken soup is classic<\/em>\u2014a food so powerful it has become a metaphor for warmth, healing, and love\u2014and this slow cooker chicken and rice soup is all of those things. It’s the winter cure-all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part? It’s EASY. Of course there\u2019s something to be said for slowing down with some unhurried, all-day-long cooking, but there\u2019s also<\/em> something to be said for letting your slow cooker do that unhurried, low-and-slow cooking for you.<\/em> My slow cooker chicken and rice soup is completely fuss-free and fabulous. Combine boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped onion, carrots, celery, garlic, fresh thyme, bay leaves, white wine, and chicken broth in your crock pot, walk away, and 4 hours later you\u2019ll have a cozy bowl of chicken soup with all the taste and none of the hassle. I use instant white rice because of the extra convenience, but you can add any grain or pasta you want\u2014or skip the grains altogether to make it lower carb. Enjoy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
