Great recipe! I used regular brown rice and added just a little extra water, otherwise I made this exactly like the recipe calls.

Super simple! I used two raw chicken breasts and shredded them right before eating. Added instant rice for the last 10 minutes. Only criticism is that I would have liked a tad more salt.

I make this often because it's one of the few ways I can get my toddler to eat both meat and vegetables (though I'm not sure if there are any nutrients left in the veggies after simmering in a crockpot all day), and I enjoy it too. I use different seasonings depending on what I have, and it always comes out tasting good.

This is the worst soup I've ever made or eaten. My husband will normally eat anything. He asked me "not" to save leftovers. Remainder went into garbage disposal and recipe went into trash. What a waste of ingredients and my time. I would have given it lower than one star if that had been possible.

This soup is delicious and it is one of my favorite dishes in the winter. It goes great with some home made whole wheat bread. I like to spice up the soup a bit by adding some thyme, garlic, and basil. Find the right combination of these three to meet your taste buds. For the listed recipe that serves six, I add one crushed clove of garlic, about 1 tablespoon of dried basil, and 1/2 tablespoon of dried thyme. You don't want to overpower the original recipe's taste, just add some more subtleties. If you're having problems with mushy rice, make sure to use parboiled rice. I've never had the problem with mushy rice when I've used parboiled.

I had chicken rice soup in mind today and found this wonderful recipe. Had to change a few things based on what was on hand. No frozen veggies so used 1 zucchini, 2 carrots, 2 celery, 1/2 onion, 1/2 lemon (squeezed juice), added 1/2T basil, 1T thyme, 1 clove garlic. The rice soaked up most of the broth so added 4 additional cups of water + 2 cubes of MSG free chicken bouillon. Perfection! My new favorite. *thanks*

I liked this recipe. I took the advice of others and didn't put the rice in until the end. The soup was tasty and flavorful and easy to make. I added lemon & herbs plus rosemary and garlic..... very good. Thanks for the recipe

Instead of rice I added Pasta and it was really good. I had read the other ratings and did hold off on putting the pasta in until the end and it was great. I have a picky husband and 2 year old and they both ate it all up.

This is my favorite chicken soup to make,it's so easy. I served it tonight with rye bread but sometimes I make biscuts. It's a perfect meal for a cold winter night.

this was easy to make and tasted great

This was really good. The whole family enjoyed it. Reading all the problems w/the rice turning the soup to mush, I came up with this solution. I made the soup according to the directions (adding a little more spices to my liking) and instead of adding the rice to the soup to cook, I made the rice first (I used instant rice) and then the last 30 minutes or so, just added the rice to the soup. Came out more like soup, not mush. Hope this helps anyone else. Thanks for the recipe Corwyn. This one is a keeper.

DELICIOUS! I added a little black pepper and garlic powder for some extra flavor. I would also recommend reserving the chicken and rice til the last hour or two of cooking, as the chicken disintegrates and the rice soaks up too much liquid and gets mushy. But otherwise I love it!

Good. But when preparing, I would cut back on the lemon seasoning. Also, for an interesting twist, used flavored chicken broth.

This was pretty good, butI would definitely add the rice at the end next time! I don't mind mushy, but the rice turned to liquid. I also added Thyme and Basil.

I LOVED this soup. I read the reviews before trying and I added the rice in three hours after it had been cooking. It came out perfect. Next time I am going to add one more can of chicken broth because at the end I needed to add one more cup of water but I think it wouldn't added more flavor with the extra can of broth. I am saving this one, it sure hits the spot and my two year old loved it!!!

not sure if I did something wrong... but the rice disintegrated. it turned out not quite as expected.

I had mush, too, and I added the rice 1-1/2 hours before serving. My husband ate it, but no one else would. I thought it needed more spices.

I threw all the ingredients in my slow cooker before I left for work. However, when my husband got home less than 5 hours later, the rice was nothing but mush. I don't recommend this recipe.
