I would like to thank you for this wonderful recipe! I made it on Friday when having a group of girlfriends for dinner that evening. It was so easy and so delicious! It is probably the best chicken soup I’ve ever made! I used dried vs. fresh thyme and may cut back on it a pinch next time, but that is the only change I would make. Re: # of servings, there were six of us and we each probably had 2 cups of soup in our bowl. There was enough left for 1 lunch serving the next day.

This worked great! I leave the house at 7am each morning and we don’t eat dinner until 6pm, so I’m a little leery of crockpot recipes. I let this one go on low heat until I got home around 4:30pm, shredded the chicken, and turned the heat down to “keep warm” until we ate dinner. It was more like a stew than a soup (my boyfriend ate his with a fork), which I found hearty and filling. The rice mostly broke down, which probably also thickened the soup. I was excited that the carrots didn’t get mushy, even after all that time. Thanks for sharing!

The recipe is super easy to make. I did increase the spices, and may add extra serving of veggies next time. Great to have on a cold day!
