Notes
The rice will absorb broth as it cooks—add extra broth when reheating if desired.
To avoid overcooked rice in the slow cooker, reduce water by 1 cup and cook rice separately. Stir in after cooking.
This soup is hearty and flavorful—perfect for make-ahead meals and leftovers.
Top with shredded cheese or serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
