Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

There is something comforting about homemade chicken soup, especially when you’re postpartum and recovering from childbirth. A slow cooker makes this comfort food staple ultra simple and easy for meal prep. Just put leftovers in the freezer and reheat whenever you want. I suggest using bone broth to increase the consumption of collagen-building amino acids, electrolytes, and essential micronutrients that support your healing.

Ingredients

500g - 1kg of boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

1 cup onion, chopped

1 ½ cups carrots, diced

1 cup celery, diced

2-3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 ½ cups wild rice

6 cups chicken bone broth

¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Add all ingredients minus the fresh parsley to a slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.

Shred the chicken with a fork and mix in the fresh parsley to serve. Enjoy!
