Just put it all in the crockpot. Do I stir it at anytime during the cooking?
Dolores, You can stir midway through but you don't have to.
Do you dissolve the bouillon cubes in water before adding? Can you use a liquid vegetable broth such as Swanson's ?
Judi, The bouillon cubes will dissolve while cooking with everything else. Just remember to stir a few times if you do that. Otherwise, a liquid vegetable broth will work instead of the cubes and water.
Thank you for your quick reply. How much of the liquid broth should I use?
Judi, You can add one additional cup of chicken broth and add 1 teaspoon or so each of spices- celery salt, oregano, thyme would all be good options. You should also add a bit of salt such as 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon.
Are there onions in this recipe? It looks like there are onions on the top of the liquid
DRHALL, You are right! Thanks for pointing that out. I have added them to the recipe.
Would brown rice work instead of wild rice? I don’t have wild rice on hand. I’ve loved every recipe that I’ve tried on your site so far.
Reine, Yes, brown rice will work. 🙂
Hi – can you substitute frozen broccoli florets for the fresh broccoli? If yes, would thawed be the best way to go? LOVE your site. Thank you. Will you be updating some of your recipes to SmartPoints?
Penny, You can put the florets in frozen. Yes, we have plans to update to SmartPoints but it will take some time.
