Ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 white onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • half a basket of mushrooms washed and sliced
  • 1/4 cup parsley
  • 2-32 ounce organic chicken broth boxes
  • 2 cups diced carrots
  • 1-1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 2 zucchini
  • Spices are half a teaspoon each: salt pepper, thyme, sage, celery salt, and 2 bay leaves.
  • half a big bell red bell pepper or 1 small chopped
  • 2 white potatoes not peeled cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup wild rice optional
  • half to 1 cup of heavy cream optional - temper prior to adding

Instructions

  1. First you will wash, and chop your veggies.
  2. Peel, and chop your onions, peel and mince your garlic.
  3. 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.
  4. Then pre spray your crockpot or add a little olive oil in the bottom. Lay your chicken breasts on the bottom. (skinless, boneless chicken breasts)
  5. Add in your sautéed veggies, right over the uncooked chicken. Then add in your first box of organic chicken broth.
  6. Next add in your non-cooked carrots, celery, and zucchini.
  7. 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.
  8. Add your spices, stir, and lid. Cook for 4- 6 hours, on high.
  9. Half way through the cooking process
  10. Add in half a cup of wild rice. (About 2-3 hours in process. optional)
  11. When your chicken has reached the internal temperature. Take it out, and chop into bite size pieces, and add it back to soup.
  12. 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.
  13. When ready to serve garnish with chopped parsley.

Recipe Notes

Leave cream out for non dairy version. It's still delicious, and full of flavor. Adapt vegetables with your family favorites or to what is in season.
