Ingredients
2 TBS olive oil1 large onion, diced5 cloves garlic, chopped3 stalks of celery, chopped1 1/2 chicken breast halves1.5 cups carrots, chopped1.5 cups corn4 avg sized red potatoes, chopped**1 TBS Better than Boullion Soup base** enough water to cover the veggies and chicken.(**You could use 3 cups of broth + 1 cup of water & salt to taste.)1 tsp thyme1 bay leaf2-3 tsp Basil2-3 tsp Oregano1 cup of uncooked rice... cook beforeehand, and set aside. Put into crock pot just before serving. If it cooks with the soup, it will make it mushy, and not the right consistancy.
In a soup pot, pour the oil in and warm. Add onions and garlic. Brown until carmelized. (This will give the broth a yummier flavor.)
Chop your veggies while you wait for the onions, stirring here and there to prevent burning.
Once the onions are carmelized, toss in the water/broth, chicken and veggies. Add the spices, and cook until the potatoes are soft.
Add the cooked rice, and serve.
Makes 8 1-cup servings.

sounds right! Bought a 6.5 pound chicken, dressed and cooked I almost got 4 pounds of meat. Will eye ball how much soup I can make for memorial day picnic. Probably will start with doubling the recipe. Slow cooked and cleaned the chicken bones to use for my broth. Double checked for no bones. - 5/29/21
