Ingredients
1/2 cup celery, chopped 1/2 cup frozen peas1 cup chopped carrots1 can cannellini (white) beans1 cup wild rice5 cups chicken broth 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts1 Tbs butter2 Tbs flourSeasonings to taste
1. Cut up the two chicken breasts into bite-size pieces and place them in a hot pan with the butter. Cook until no longer pink. Remove from the pan and place in your slow cooker.
2. Add the flour to the butter in the pan and make a roux. Add about 1 cup of chicken broth to the mixture. This serves as a thickener so the soup isn't so thin.
3. Add the mixture from step 2 into the slow cooker, along with the rest of the chicken broth.
4. Add the chopped vegetables into the slow cooker and cover.
5. Cook either on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
6. Uncover and add rice and seasoning. I like cilantro and parsley along with salt and pepper, but any seasoning you like could work. Cover and cook for another 1/2 hour or until the rice is tender.
This can be done on the stovetop, but I think it tastes better cooked slow.
