A hearty & nourishing soup that is weeknight-friendly and guaranteed to fill you up.
You know those comfort food recipes that just feel like home? This is one of those recipes. Slow Cooker Chicken, Rice, and Celery Soup is best described as feel good food. It’s warm and hearty and perfect for cozy family dinners. This is a recipe your kids will love and remember as an essential part of their childhood.
On practice nights, pack this soup up in a Thermos and take it to the ballpark with you. It’s great for early fall nights when a slight chill is starting to form in the air. This recipe serves 4-6 but it’s easy to double if you want to take and share with the team.
This recipe takes an amazing 15 minutes of prep time! Take a few minutes in the morning to throw the ingredients into your slow cooker before heading off to work or the school drop-off line. On the high setting the soup will be ready in 3-4 hours. Or cook on low for 6-8 hours. Once the soup is finished cooking, all that’s left is to add the cooked rice and garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese.
The slow cooker ensures the chicken and veggies will be tender and cooked to perfection. With Dandy® Celery, you never have to worry about your celery being too stringy. Dandy® Celery Sticks have less strings than other celery brands so you can put the vegetable peeler away—you won’t need it! Dandy® Celery is also Naturally Sweeter & Crispier® and comes pre-washed. And until the end of August, you can enter to win a baseball-themed prize pack from Dandy® that includes an RTIC Soft Pak 20 cooker and a $150 MLPshop.com gift card! Enter here.
