Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lb chicken breasts
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 8–10 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice (rinsed)
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • ¼ cup flour (gluten free will work as well)
  • ½ cup half and half
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare your vegetables by dicing the onion, chopping the carrots and celery, and mincing the garlic.
  2. In your slow cooker, layer the chicken breasts at the bottom. Top with minced garlic, seasonings (Italian seasoning, thyme, parsley, sea salt, cracked pepper), then add onions, carrots, and celery.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add rinsed wild rice along with the bay leaf.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the rice is tender.
  5. Once cooked through (165°F), shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the soup.
  6. To make it creamy, whisk together flour with half-and-half and whole milk; slowly stir into your soup until smooth. Adjust thickness with additional broth if desired.
  7. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
