Pure creamy comfort food made right in your crockpot! So quick, easy, and hearty with veggies, rice and chicken!
So first things first. Has anyone else finished Gilmore Girls on Netflix?
Because I just did. And I’m speechless.
Are there more episodes? Or are we supposed to use our imagination for the ending?
I’m just so confused but I digress.
Let’s talk about this soup instead. This crockpot chicken mushroom wild rice soup. Which is basically like chicken noodle soup.
Except way creamier with extra mushrooms. Just because. And because it’s super cold.
And also because I’m still confused about Gilmore Girls.

Instructions
1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken into a 6-qt slow cooker.
2. Stir in chicken stock, wild rice, garlic, onion, carrots, celery, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours. Add mushrooms during the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
3. Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred, using two forks.
4. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and half and half, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Stir chicken and milk mixture into the slow cooker. If the soup is too thick, add more half and half as needed until desired consistency is reached.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
