Quick Chicken Rice Soup image

"I combined three recipes to come up with this take on the classic creamy chicken rice soup," says Marge Wagner from Roselle, Illinois. "I cut down on the butter, increased the vegetables and eliminated the half-and-half cream. This lower-fat version is truly delicious...and no one can tell it's light!"

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 8 hours. The soup was so flavorful and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender.
