Not much of a "soup" eater, I was looking for a soup recipe like Panera breads. Found it! The whole family really liked this soup. I tweeked the recipe just a little.. I used 8 chicken thighs instead of 5. I sauteed the onion in butter with the chicken. I used 2 cans of broth instead of one and used 1 can of cream of celery because I only had one can of cream of potato on hand. I also used the seasoning packet that came with the box of wild rice. Since I have picky eaters, I took shredded carrots and put them in the food processor until they were tiny pieces. Turned out great!

This is one of my favorite recipes. I do not find the rice mushy. I make it as it is except I use fresh carrots. I use baby carrots and cut them up in very small pieces, although I may try to sauté the onions and the carrots, that sounds like a great idea. But otherwise, I love the recipe as it is. So easy, too. Just put it in the crockpot and it is done!!

Add a squidge of lemon juice. (Note - a "squidge," of course, is whatever you want it to be.)

What a hearty chicken soup! I used boneless chicken breast, raw carrots and added a lot more chicken broth; although this was still very thick - I think its because I cooked the rice in the crock instead of adding it at the end. Cooking the rice throughout made my soup a much darker color too - tasted great, just didn't look how I thought it would. Served with recipe#391992
