Squash and More Chicken Soup

What You Need:

  • 3 C butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (8 oz) pkg. fresh mushroom slices
  • 1 C celery, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, halved
  • 1 C wild rice
  • 4 C chicken broth
  • 1 t thyme
  • 1 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • ½ C whipping cream
  • 3 T cornstarch
How to Make It:

  1. Place the squash, mushroom slices, celery, onion and garlic into the crock pot.
  2. Lay the chicken thighs on top.
  3. Next add in the uncooked rice.
  4. Pour in the broth.
  5. Add the thyme, salt and pepper being sure to stir well to incorporate all the ingredients together.
  6. Cover and cook on low 6 hours.
  7. Pour the whipping cream into a small bowl.
  8. Whisk in the cornstarch until smooth.
  9. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the crock pot.
  10. Place the heat on high, cover and continue cooking an additional 30 minutes.

Boneless chicken thighs can be hard to find in some areas. If you are having trouble finding them you can use thighs with the bone in. Be sure to remove the skin before placing them into the crock pot. Before adding the whipping cream mixture remove the thighs and shred the meat off the bone using 2 forks.

 So, go on, give your Cuisinart Programmable Slow Cooker a try with this recipe. If you do not have a Cuisinart Programmable Slow Cooker, you can get on at a very good price from Amazon

Have a look at what some are saying about their Cuisinart Programmable Slow Cooker:

I love this slow cooker! You have no idea how many expensive and inexpensive slow cookers I've had to return due to overcooking the food; and/or cooking too hot at the low setting. This Cuisinart has a "simmer" setting which is set lower than the "low" setting. For long-term cooking, this is my preferred heat setting. You can't go wrong with this one, folks!

I am completely happy with it. It is nicely looking, very reliable, has super convenient electronics, easy to use thing. Meets out of this thing just like french stew! It is easy to remove and to clean. Yammiiiii!

I bought this for my husband. He likes cooking with a slow cooker. Not something I'm used to doing so I don't really use it nor think about it. My husband loves it.
