Crock Pot Chicken Stew

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs, skinless
2 Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized cubes
2 cups pearl onions
2 large carrots, cut into bite sized cubes
1/2 pound fresh button mushrooms, stemmed and quartered
1 bag (about 2 1/4 cups) frozen green peas, thawed
1 cup chicken broth, purchased or your own
1 cup evaporated milk – low fat or regular
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 fresh parsley, minced

Directions

Whisk together the chicken broth, evaporated milk and the all purpose flour until smooth. Set aside.

In a large bowl, gently mix together the cubed potatoes, the pearl onion, mushrooms, carrots and peas.

Season the chicken thighs with the kosher salt and black pepper. Put the chicken thighs in the bottom of a crockpot and top with the mixed vegetables. Sprinkle the dried herbs over the vegetables and pour in the broth and milk mixture.

Cover the pot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken is tender. Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.

Serves 6 to 8

Food For Thought – For a more “mushroomy” flavor, substitute 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup for the evaporated milk.

Crockpot Chicken Soup Recipes are a family favorite and this recipe could become a new favorite at your house. It’s chicken soup that has something for everybody.

Skinless chicken thighs are simmered with black beans, salsa and sweet potatoes.

If that sounds odd, remember that sweet potatoes were a product of the New World, and it makes perfect sense to include them in this Latin-inspired soup.

Fresh cilantro, garlic and ground cumin round out the flavors of the soup.

A favorite way to garnish this soup is with lime wedges, a dollop of sour cream and chopped tomatoes. You can make your soup thicker by cutting back on the chicken broth – serve it like this with tortilla chips!

Crock Pot Chicken Soup Recipes Latin Style

Ingredients

3 pounds skinless chicken thighs, bone in
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks
1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa – mild, medium or hot – your choice
1 large onion, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and cut in strip
3 large clovers garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, leaves only, chopped
1 quart chicken broth
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons chili powder
lime wedges for garnish
kosher salt and ground black pepper

Directions

Season the skinless chicken thighs with the kosher salt and black pepper. Put them in the bottom of a crock pot, skin side up.

Whisk together the chicken broth and hot salsa, minced garlic, ground cumin, allspice and chili powder and pour over the thighs. Add the sweet potatoes, black beans, chopped onion and strips of red bell pepper. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top.

Make sure that all the vegetables are covered with chicken broth. The sweet potatoes will absorb some during cooking. Add additional chicken broth or water if you need to.

Cover the crock pot and turn to low. Cook for 6 to 8 hours, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with lime wedges.

Food For Thought – Add a cup of thawed frozen corn to the vegetable mix to add color that will also compliment the Latin theme.

Although this recipe is very flavorful, it’s not really very spicy hot. Feel free to add crushed red chilies, chopped jalapenos and Tabasco to heat it up.

On Your Own – If the sweet potatoes just sound to off the wall for you or your family, go ahead and use peeled russet potatoes instead. If you would rather leave out the potatoes all together, consider serving this with hot cooked rice.

Try this recipe! It’s one of the best Crockpot Chicken Soup Recipes I know of.

6. Cut the corn tortillas into thin strips and coat them with cooking spray. Coat a baking sheet with the cooking spray, and spread the tortilla strips over the pan.
7. Bake in a hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring them once or twice. They should be crispy and not oily.

This Crock Pot Chicken Soup With Wild Rice And Potatoes recipe has a twist on the traditional chicken and rice soup – it uses wild rice, rather than long grain white rice. Wild rice is a chewy, dense grain that is actually a grass, so the texture is entirely different from regular rice.

It also takes longer to cook, which makes it ideal for a crock pot recipe.

It’s done when each grain bursts in the middle and is soft and slightly pliable.

This soup is thickened with potatoes and cornstarch, and the wild rice contributes some starch as well, so it comes out creamier than a plain broth soup.

Just add a salad for a very substantial mid-week meal.

A different take on chicken and rice soup. This recipe uses wild rice paired with potatoes to make a complete meal! 

Course: Soup

Cuisine: American

Calories: 225 kcal

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup wild rice
• 1 1/4 quarts chicken broth
• 4 large russet potatoes peeled and cubed
• 1 large onion chopped
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• kosher salt and ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts with the kosher salt and black pepper. Lay them on the bottom of a crock pot. Put the chopped onion on top of the chicken, and then add the cubed potatoes. Season the potatoes with kosher salt and black pepper.
2. Pour in the chicken broth and the wild rice, cover the pot and turn it to low.
3. Cook for 6 to 8 hours.
4. During the last hour of cooking, whisk together the milk and cornstarch. Turn the crock pot to high and stir in the thickened milk. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes and rice are tender.

Food For Thought – This recipe lends itself to being spiced up.

Go for a little heat by adding 3 tablespoons of chili powder, a pinch of cayenne and a couple dashes of Tabasco.

Dried spices also make a good addition – try oregano, basil, rosemary and thyme.

Adding dried minced onion will enhance the flavor of the chopped fresh onion, and you can garnish the soup with chopped scallions or chives, to carry out the “onion” theme.

Good To Know – If you like this recipe but don’t have the necessary hours to get it all cooked, buy a rotisserie chicken from the market and remove the meat, discarding the skin and bones.

Boil half of the chicken broth and cook the wild rice until its tender, and microwave the cubed potatoes in the other half of the chicken broth until tender.

Combine everything in the crock pot, add the onion and thickened milk. Adjust the seasonings, cover and cook on high for 3 hours until the rice and potatoes are completely cooked and the flavors are well blended.

Enjoy This Crock Pot Chicken Soup!

A truly homemade chicken noodle soup. Time consuming and a little labor intensive, but sooo worth it. Chicken noodle soup the way it should be made! 

Course: Main Course

Cuisine: American

Servings: 8

Calories: 325 kcal

Ingredients

• 1 chicken about 4 pounds, cut up
• 2 large onions chopped
• 2 large carrots peeled and diced
• 2 stalks celery diced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 quarts chicken broth
• kosher salt and ground black pepper

For the Noodles:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 large eggs well beaten
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Season the cut up chicken with the kosher salt and black pepper. Lay the pieces in the bottom of a crock pot, skin side up. Pour in the white wine, and then add the chopped onions, carrots and celery. Sprinkle with the dried basil and add the bay leaf.
2. Cover the pot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.

To make the noodles:

1. Put the flour in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the beaten eggs, salt and the water. With a fork, begin stirring the egg mixture into the flour, gathering it up into a ball when everything is well mixed.
2. Knead the dough with your hands, making sure to gather up all the flour, then cover the dough with a cloth and let it set for about 15 minutes.
3. Flour a work surface and roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. With a pizza wheel or the tip of a sharp knife, cut the dough into strips about 3 inches long by 1/2 inch wide.
4. Gather up the noodles and toss them with a bit of flour to keep them separated while they dry. Let them dry a few hours while the chicken is cooking.
5. When the chicken is done, remove the pieces and discard the skin and bones. Pull the meat apart with your fingers and set it aside.
6. Lift out the carrots, onions and celery and set them aside with the shredded chicken. Discard the bay leaf. Keep the chicken and vegetables covered with foil.
7. Pour the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a large soup pot and add the 2 quarts of chicken broth.
8. Bring the liquid to a boil add the noodles. Boil the noodles for about 10 minutes, until they are tender, and then return the shredded chicken and vegetables to the pot.
9. Simmer just until the chicken and vegetables are heated through, and serve hot.

Food For Thought – Many families have treasured recipes for chicken and noodles. Add whatever spices or seasonings you like to make it just the way you remember it.

Good To Know – And yes, you can use a rotisserie chicken from the market and purchased egg noodles. Just cut the cooking time down to 1 or 2 hours, until the vegetables are cooked through.
