When I have a lot of people coming over, I almost always make soup. Soups are super filling and can feed a crowd. Plus, for some reason, the leftovers last for days. I’ll sometimes make this in the winter and we will eat it for a while. It’s really nice to cook once and then it will feed everyone for a few days.

This is also a great soup to make in the slow cooker because you can put it together and then forget about it. I think the crockpot or slow cooker is one of those kitchen staples that we all enjoy having around. It sure does make cooking a lot easier.

What Goes Good With Chicken and Wild Rice Soup?
Let’s say that you’re making this recipe tonight and you need to know what goes with it. Well, there are lots of options for enjoying this soup. You can easily serve this recipe on its own, but a bunch of fresh bread never hurts. Like I mentioned before, there is just something to be said about fresh bread and soup together. Oh, and let’s not forget about a nice green salad to go with it! The littles may not like the salad but it’ll still be something to offer that tastes yummy with soup. Besides soup and salad seem to go great together.
Is it better to put a slow cooker on low or on high?
It depends on how fast you want something cooked. If you want your soup to cook faster, you’ll want to put it on high. If you are looking to cook your soup all day, then put it on low. Most people are gone from their house all day, which means they put it on low and the soup cooks all day long in the slow cooker.
