Spinach, Chicken, and Wild Rice Soup (Slow Cooker)
"This soup is easy to throw together. If you don't have pre-cooked chicken, I think it would work to add whole, uncooked chicken breasts at the beginning, then pull them out and cut them up before adding the spinach. From Better Homes & Gardens."

Nice basic soup! Added a clove of garlic, bay leaves and carrots! I will make it again! -
This is a nice soup. I made it as posted except I added a whole teaspoon of thyme and was very liberal with the pepper. Next time I think I may add some garlic for some added flavour. It was nice to leave it while I went to work. I served it with recipe #19529. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for posting! -
I don't know if I should really rate, since I changed so much, but this was an awesome springboard. I did it on the stovetop, used creamed corn instead of cream of chicken soup and added a can of condensed tomatoe soup, a good heaping teaspoon of Mrs. Dash tomatoe basil garlic, a teaspoon or so of garlic and a teaspoon or so of worstester sauce. I can't wait to make it again!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
After graduating from college in spring of 2007, I am now working as a Traffic Engineer. Now that I have free time instead of homework, I've been trying all sorts of new recipes that are more involved.
I am always trying to get healthy food into my husband and 7-year old step-son. I am slowly wearing on them, both of them will finally eat vegetables with every dinner. Both of them like helping in the kitchen, especially on mini pizza nights!
We have a 4-year old male lab/golden retriever mix and when the two "boys" get going, look out!
I participated in my in-law's family Christmas party this year by bringing almond roca. It was a huge hit and everyone wants it again next get-together! I will definately bring it again, but I don't want to give the recipe out to them because it is so easy and I like them thinking I worked by butt off!!
A cooking tragedy I once had in high school: I was making some pesto for my mom and I to have with lunch. At the time, I didn't know the difference between a clove and a bulb of garlic and I ended up putting about half a bulb of garlic in the recipe then stopped because I though "two whole bulbs would be a lot"... the recipe read 2 cloves ... Needless to say, we had bad breath for days and I never forgot what a clove was!!
I haven't tried all of my posted recipes, but if I posted them I thought they sounded good and figured I should give someone else the chance to try them before I get to them.
