Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken, Broccoli, Wild Rice Soup
Report
This Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is creamy, cheesy, seasoned to perfection and couldn’t be any easier without making a roux! It makes fantastic leftovers and easy to double or triple for a crowd! It reminds me of my favorite cheesy chicken broccoli casserole but in in soothing soup form with shredded chicken, broccoli but you can also add carrots, celery or any of your favorite veggies.

Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 4 cups broccoli floret chopped
- 1 cup wild rice blend uncooked, rinsed and drained
- 1 onion small, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 oz. can evaporated milk
- 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 1/2 tsp EACH oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp EACH cumin
- 1/2 tsp EACH salt
- 1/2 tsp EACH black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme dried
Add Later
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 cups half and half (I use nonfat)
- 1 .5 oz. jar Alfredo sauce Prego Homestyle brand
- 2 cups cheddar cheese freshly grated, sharp
Garnish
- cheddar cheese Freshly grated, sharp
- Bacon optional, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Add chicken to the bottom of the slow cooker followed by all of the ingredients up to the cornstarch (do not add cornstarch and ingredients after). Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low 6-7 hours, or until chicken is tender enough to shred and rice is cooked.
- Remove chicken and allow to rest 5 minutes before shredding or chopping if preferred.
- Meanwhile, whisk half and half with cornstarch and add to slow cooker. Add chicken and cook on HIGH for 15-20 minutes or until thickened. Stir in Alfredo followed by cheese, stirring until melted.
- Taste and add additional salt, pepper, red pepper as desired. If you would like a less “chunky” soup, stir in additional broth/half and half.
- Garnish individual servings with freshly grated cheese and bacon (optional).
