Homemade Chicken and Rice Soup

I love quick one pot meals that I can set and forget. My homemade chicken and rice soup is just that.





1 pack of chicken legs (about 6 legs)

1 cup of chopped celery

1 cup of chopped carrots

1/2 cup of chopped onions

1 TBSP of black pepper

1 TBSP of seasoning salt (although I'm sure I'm used alot more)

A dash of sea salt

1 bag of frozen mixed veggies

2-3 handfuls of rice





Place the chicken, celery, carrots, onions and seasonings into a crock pot and add enough water to cover the top of the chicken. Place on low and allow to cook for 6-8 hours. Once done, remove the large bones and shred the chicken. Add a bag of mixed veggies and allow it to cook on low for 30-45 minutes. After the veggies are done, add two handfuls (give or take) of uncooked rice and stir. Allow to cook on low for 20-30 mins.

Yummy chicken and veggies before adding the rice

Adding rice to the crockpot. Yum!

Top with crushed red peppers and eat up!

It is very important that you don't allow the rice to overcook or else it will turn to mush. Add more seasoning to taste and serve! My little guy LOVES this soup/stew.
