In the beginning of my pregnancy, before I could say anything to you guys I was dreadfully sick. I could barely look at food without feeling nauseous. We ate out probably 3-4 times a week because I couldn’t stomach cooking. Let’s just say it’s a pure miracle I was able to get posts out for y’all.

During this time one of my favorite things to eat and one of the only things that would settle my stomach was soup.

I think soup automatically gives you the “feel goods.” There is something comforting about it. It just calms you down no matter how your day has gone. And for me, it calmed my stomach down. Which was a BIG bonus in my book.

I would make Mike run to Panera at least once a week to get me their Chicken & Wild Rice Soup. It’s one of my favorite soups besides of course their signature Broccoli and Cheese soup! So since then I have been on a mission to make the ultimate Chicken & Wild Rice Soup.

And guys I think I’ve got it!

First off, it’s made in a crock pot. As in, it’s literally the easiest soup you’ll ever make. I made this recipe in the morning by just throwing everything in the crock pot and turning it on. A couple hours later I added in the milk mixture and voila.

Thick creamy deliciousness that is the epitome of comfort food!

This soup is actually now one of my husbands favorites, in fact, he asked me to make it again. Which he normally doesn’t do, partly because he knows I’m always creating new things. But he’s pushing for a repeat on this one. My mom even asked for the recipe the day after we made it because the flavors are on POINT and she loved how easy it was.

Guys this soup is a must make for the fall!

In my opinion this soup is better than the Panera version. It packs more of a flavor punch.

I guarantee you’ll love it, even the kiddos will devour this one. Which is a bonus because it’s loaded with veggies, protein and good nutrients! Each serving is only 213 calories with 17 grams of protein.

So what are you waiting for, go out, get those ingredients throw everything in the Crock Pot and wait for deliciousness to show up on your dinner table.

Bon Appetit friends!
