A delightful and hearty soup combining tender chicken, wild rice, and a creamy broth, perfect for a comforting meal.
Cook the wild rice according to the package instructions.
Cooking the rice separately ensures it doesn't overcook in the soup.
In the crockpot, combine the cooked wild rice, shredded chicken, diced carrots, chopped onion, chicken broth, half-and-half, and milk.
Layer the ingredients evenly for consistent cooking.
Cook on high for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Stirring occasionally prevents the ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and let it melt into the soup.
Adding the cheese at the end ensures a creamy texture.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Serving the soup immediately ensures the best texture and flavor.
