    Original post: March 2017 | Updated: December 2020

    When my goal is to have a satisfying and delicious lunch waiting for family or guests but I have limited time, I make this recipe. I chop the veggies the night before (takes 20 minutes tops) and the following morning I literally just dump everything into my crockpot and go about my day.

    This recipe requires NO STOVE TOP, which I love. You might be thinking, But.. how does it taste?! I thought you’d never ask! I promise no one will ever know that this is the cheater’s version of Chicken Wild Rice Soup.

    It is so easy that you will feel like you’re cheating. But the taste! Oh-my-gosh, the taste! It is creamy, flavorful, satisfying, packed with textures and it is dee-licious. The cheater part is our tasty little secret. I give you permission to make it seem like you have slaved in the kitchen all day long.

    How To Make Crockpot Chicken Wild Rice Soup

    STEP 1

    In a 6.5-quart slow cooker, combine the wild rice, onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, garlic, chicken broth, cream of potato soup and seasoned salt. Mix well and cook on Low heat for 8 hours or High heat for 4 hours.

    STEP 2

    Thirty minutes before cook time is up, add shredded chicken and the half and half. Mix well and cook for the remaining 30 minutes.

    Ladle into bowls and top with parsley!

    Recipe Notes

    • To save time cooking chicken breasts for this soup, pull and use the meat from a large Rotisserie chicken. Or make your own Rotisserie-style chicken in your Instant Pot!
    • Replace half and half with heavy cream for an even creamier texture.
    • Top with slivered almonds for an added crunch!
    • For an even easier meal, replace fresh veggies with canned or frozen.

    Visit this recipe for full details, but here are a few important recipe notes.

    • Cooking time varies based on the size of your chicken AND Instant Pot.
    • Why? Because larger size Instant Pot has larger volume (area) for more pressure to build up. Thus, it takes longer to bring pressure down.
    • Therefore, 8 quart pressure cooker keeps cooking chicken while bringing down pressure for 40 minutes vs. 6 quart that takes only 15 minutes.
