Pinterest Success or Fail....crock pot creamy chicken rice soup

I love Pinterest. They always have interesting ideas.

I wanted to try one of those ideas in the form of a post for easy crock pot creamy chicken rice soup.

I was planning on doing a blog post for this when I made the soup yesterday, so I didn't take many pictures.

if you want to try it yourself, you can find the recipe here.

I added all the ingredients to my crock pot.



My crock pot is super full at this point because I did double the recipe.

I let it cook until the chicken was done, then put the chicken breast into my stand mixer with the paddle on it to break up the chicken.

I added the chicken back into the pot and added the rice and let it continue cooking. About an hour before the soup was done, I mixed up the flour and water and added that to the pot. I let it continue to cook until the soup had thickened a bit more.

Once we ate our fill, I still had a full crock pot of soup, so I pulled it back out again and it is warming for dinner a second night. Here is it when I took it out of the fridge today.



My final thoughts:

I followed the recipe but mine didn't look like the pictures on the site. I did love the soup itself, though I think I would make a few adjustments if I make this again.

1. I am not a big fan of cumin, so I would lower the amount that I used in the soup.
2. I am not a fan of regular cooked rice. I grew up on minute rice so if I was to make this again, I would make the minute rice and stir it in right before I served the soup because I just didn't care for the texture of the regular rice.
3. I am not sure if mine didn't turn out exactly like the picture because I doubled it, so I would make a single batch next time to see if that helped get the correct texture.

Bottom line, was the soup was delicious even though it didn't turn out exactly as it was pictured.

My vote is for success on this recipe, with a few adjustments for future tries.

Happy Wednesday
