sandycombsIt's cold today! Winter finally decided to put in an appearance and I thought a nice warm soup would go well with the weather. Feeling adventurous, I decided to try a new recipe. I had all the ingredients, so why not?
Mistake!
Slow Cooker Chicken Wild Rice soup sounds good, doesn't it? Well, apparently I did something wrong. My house smelled heavenly all day, but when it was time to shred the chicken and add the final ingredients I discovered something more akin to mush than soup. The rice absorbed all the broth. Plus, all the vegetables except the carrots had disappeared into the glutenous mixture. Seeing as I had no time to come up with something else for dinner, we ate it. It tasted okay, but it definitely wasn't soup.
I've never tried risotto, but I'm fairly sure this was nothing like it. If I'm correct, risotto is a creamy dish and you can still see the individual grains of rice. I put the leftovers in the fridge, but I don't know if we'll eat it or not. Maybe it will make good cat food. So tonight, instead of posting a picture of our dinner, I give you some pretty kittens. Enjoy!
