Crock Pot Chicken and Wild Rice Soup




ngredients:

  • 1lb chicken breasts (do not use frozen,) cut in half if large
  • 1/2 small onion or 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 large or 2 small bay leaves
  • 2 Tablespoons butter or Earth Balance Vegan Butter
  • 6 cups gluten-free chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup wild rice-brown rice blend (I recommend Lundberg Farms)









 Directions:

 Add all ingredients into a 6-quart crock pot then cook on low for 4 
hours or until chicken breasts are cooked through. Rice should be 
done around the same time. Shred chicken then stir back into soup 
and serve (soup will thicken as it cools.)

 Notes

 Depending on the type of rice you use, it may not be cooked 
through at 4 hours. If that's the case, shred chicken then keep in the 
refrigerator until rice is tender, then stir into soup and let warm for 

5 minutes before serving.

LOADED CHEESY CHICKEN POTATO CHOWDER

Image
The chowder is easy, ready in about a half hour, and the ultimate comfort food. The smaller you dice the vegetables, the faster it'll be ready. I recommend 1/4-inch dice. It's loaded with tender potatoes, juicy chicken, sweet Vidalia onions, carrots, celery, and corn which all add texture and flavor. Even with chowder I need texture and a variety of vegetables to keep me interested and this does the trick. It's thick, creamy, rich, and wonderfully cheesy. Grate your own cheese because pre-grated convenience bags of cheese are resistant to melting. We couldn't get enough of the chowder. The savory, cheesy broth is my ultimate weakness.

IMMUNE-BOOSTING VEGETABLE SOUP AND BROTH

Image
This soup is so easy to make and it's a very flexible recipe. If you don't like, don't have, or can't find a certain ingredient, omit it or substitute with something similar. Every ingredient used has healing properties, and the trace micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals in the broth are so soothing and comforting when I feel a little off, and after just sipping on one cup, I literally feel renewed energy. It's a light soup that's easily digestible, although it's hearty enough to fill you as it warms you from the inside out. Like all soups, adjusting the salt to taste is important. I don't salt the whole pot, but instead salt individual bowls. I keep about 2 quarts for just broth, and the rest I treat as vegetable soup. A batch can be frozen for up to 6 months, and it's great to have on han d.

nstead of bread

Will you have a hard time living without bread? Ooopsies are a good option. It’s a “bread” without carbs and can be eaten in a variety of ways. Oopsies 6–8 depending on size. 3 eggs 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese a pinch of salt ½ tablespoon fiberhusk / psyllium seed husks (optional) ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional) Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another. Whip egg whites together with salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving. Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you want, add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like). Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites. Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray. Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden. You can have an Oopsie as a sandwich or use it as a ...
