#Crockpot chicken with cream of mushroom soup update#

Add in some butter and the chopped rosemary. Add some olive oil to the pan, add in the mushrooms and sear until the mushrooms are golden. Meanwhile, quarter the mushrooms and heat the nonstick pan on high heat.Give everything a really good stir and replace the lid back on the slow cooker to wilt the spinach. Pour in the cream and add in the spinach.

Once the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through turn off the slow cooker.

The rice will be tender but then and starting to soak up some of the broth so your soup will be very thick. Pour in the hot stock and cook on a high heat setting for about 3 hours. If you're feeling fancy you can use two stock cubes here. Make the chicken or vegetable stock using the stock cube and about 1.25l of boiling water.

Once the chicken is browned now you can add in the carrots, celery, onion, rice and thyme leaves.

This step is optional, I just think that browned chicken brings so much extra flavour to slow cooker meals that can tend to be bland if everything is just added raw. Or just sear in a non-stick skillet just until golden brown. Chop the chicken into chunks and if you have a 'cook and sear' slow cooker then place it on the hob with some olive oil and brown the chicken.Single cream- we're only using 300ml for the whole soup, so yes.In a pinch, you can use dried rosemary and thyme, but I very much suggest fresh parsley for the finished soup. Fresh herbs- rosemary, thyme and parsley.Chicken stock from a stock cube- you can use vegetable stock here too.It also brings creaminess and flavour to the soup. Helps to bulk out this soup when you're trying to stretch your budget. Basmati rice- the rice does so many things here.Onion, carrots & celery- the trio that starts off every amazing flavour filled soup! We throw in some garlic too because there's always room for garlic!.Mushrooms- brown chestnut mushrooms because they have a deeper flavour.Slow Cooker Chicken And Mushroom Soup Recipe.Like this recipe?
