I make a lot of rotisserie-style chicken in my slow cooker. I do this at least once a week, sometimes twice. And while we usually eat most of it, sometimes we do have chicken left over.
So instead of eating the same old chicken and getting bored with it, I pack it away in the fridge while my slow cooker makes chicken stock overnight. Then with that broth, I make this soup in the slow cooker as well!
My slow cooker does all the cooking for two days straight leaving me free to do other things as well as keeping dinner interesting. That’s a win-win in my book!
Now I should mention that I have a 5 quart slow cooker. So this is what works for me. If you have a smaller crock, you may need to adjust down a bit on the spices or they may end up being too strong for you. If you have a larger slow cooker, proceed as directed and add any extra seasoning you need at the end after cooking.

Instructions
Combine all ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on low for 3-5 hours or until the rice is cooked. The grains will split oven when it’s done.
Add salt and pepper to taste. This definitely needs salt. Not adding salt will give you a rather bland soup. But just a little salt and the flavors really come to life.

You mentioned that you make rotisserie-style chicken in your crock pot. How may I ask do you do that?

Hi-so the dry spices you mentioned above are clean? onion powder, garlic powder….We can use those on a daily basis if we are trying to eat clean? Thanks.

JoElle – You want to always read ingredients. Some are clean, but some may not be. The only thing in them should be garlic or onion. If so, they are clean.

Have you ever tried adding a tablespoon full of Apple cider vinegar to the bones when making the broth? It breaks down the bones and adds calcium and trace minerals from the bones to the broth.

Wendy – I have not, but have always wanted to give it a try. I might do so on my next batch. Thanks for the reminder!

Chicken soup crockpot temp high or low?

Felicia – No worries! I hope you like the soup! 🙂

Seems tasty enough 🙂 I’m waiting for the hubby to get home so we can eat it properly. Great way to get more out of your chicken! Quick Q- my soup seems a little greasy? Is that normal. I think it’s just the natural oils from the chicken as I didn’t add anything. Thanks x

Lorna – Ya, it sounds like the chicken. If it bothers you, you can store it in the fridge overnight (the soup) and skim off the fat in the morning. Enjoy!
