With a little prep, your slow cooker can do the heavy lifting for you
The first step is the most crucial, and most time-consuming step on your part. Spend about 10 minutes ahead of time chopping all of the vegetables. Then, cook the rice so that it can be added to the soup when it’s finished.

Finally, the best part– it’s time to enjoy! For the last step, add the cooked rice and allow it to warm along with the soup for a few minutes.
Serve this delicious heart-warming soup with a healthy salad, and there you have it! A comforting, well-balanced meal without all the hassle.
