Instructions
Slow Cooker Method
- First, gather all the ingredients into the slow cooker. Just make sure do not include milk and cornstarch.
- Cover the lid and cook for 6 to 8 hours in low heat. It would be best if you cook until the chicken is cooked and all the vegetables are tenderized.
- After that, remove the lid of the cooker, add milk, and stir to combine all.
- Cook for 10 minutes more.
- You can see the soup is ready.
- If you want a little thicker consistency, add 2 tbsp of milk along with 1 tbsp of cornstarch mixture and cook about 10 minutes more.
Regular Method
- Take a large saucepan and heat with 1 tsp of olive oil.
- Now add chopped carrots, onion and celery and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add chopped garlic, parsley and thyme and cook for about 1 minute.
- After that, add chicken broth along with salt, pepper and chicken.
- Add rice and stir gently. Cover the lid and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- After a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 30 minutes more. Don't forget to stir occasionally.
- When you see the rice, vegetables and chicken are tenderized, remove the chicken from the pan and shred it. (The easiest method I ever see)
- Put them back to the saucepan, give a gentle mix and add evaporated milk.
- You can also add cornstarch to give it a more creamy texture.
- Serve it hot.
