The Soup Diva

• 7 cups chicken broth/water (at least 40 oz broth + water to make 7 cups liquid total)
• 1-1¼ lb. chicken, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1 large sweet onion, diced
• 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced fairly small
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground coriander
• ½ tsp ground tumeric
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp dry mustard
• ½ tsp white or black pepper
• 3 large pinches Kosher salt
• 1½ cups white or brown long grain rice
• 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

Add chicken broth through rice to the slow cooker and cook on high for 6-8 hours, or on low for 8-10 hours. Stir in cream and heat thoroughly before serving.

This soup is very hearty and is flavorful but not spicy. Perfect comfort food. Please don’t be afraid of the diced apple; when cooked fully, the apple breaks down and gives the broth a wonderful rich sweetness. You will NOT have chunks of apple in your soup!
