Рецепт Clean Eating Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Soup
I make a lot of rotisserie-style chicken in my slow cooker. I do this at least once a week, sometimes twice. And while we usually eat most of it, sometimes we do have chicken left over.
So instead of eating the same old chicken and getting bored with it, I pack it away in the fridge while my slow cooker makes chicken stock overnight. Then with that broth, I make this soup in the slow cooker as well!
My slow cooker does all the cooking for two days straight leaving me free to do other things as well as keeping dinner interesting. That’s a win-win in my book!
Now I should mention that I have a 5 quart slow cooker. So this is what works for me. If you have a smaller crock, you may need to adjust down a bit on the spices or they may end up being too strong for you. If you have a larger slow cooker, proceed as directed and add any extra seasoning you need at the end after cooking.

Clean Eating Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Soup
Ingredients:
Leftover chicken
All the broth you made
1/2 lb. baby carrots
2 large stalks celery, sliced
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained & rinsed (optional – I did not use this, but it would be a good addition)
3/4 cup dry wild rice – *See note below
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on low for 3-5 hours or until the rice is cooked. The grains will split oven when it’s done.
*NOTE: If your slow cooker is smaller than a 5 quart, reduce the rice to only 1/2 a cup.
Add salt and pepper to taste. This definitely needs salt. Not adding salt will give you a rather bland soup. But just a little salt and the flavors really come to life.
