Creamy Parslied Wild Rice Soup

In your slow cooker

Servings: 6–8
The herbs in this aromatic soup will have your house smelling soooo good! Nice and creamy, yet dairy-free, this soup is vegetarian, but it’s easy enough to throw in some chopped rotisserie chicken if you like. Enjoy with our roasted grape and brie crostini.

4 cups vegetable broth
2 15-ounce cans creamed corn
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
1 10-ounce bag shredded carrots

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced (add more if you like)
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons dried thyme
Salt and cracked black pepper as desired
3–4 large, colorful bell peppers, seeded and quartered
Fresh parsley, chopped
