It Is Time For A Soup Recipe--Eating Healthy
Trying to eat healthy is always a goal of mine, but it can be tricky! Especially with children that need lots more calories and fat than I do! I have been doing lots of research on omega 3 fatty acids, the B vitamins...and others. I bought some flax seed powder (this is one of the highest forms of omega 3) to put in my yogurt once a day...plus I am trying to eats lots of veggies, fish, whole grains, and fruit! Vitamin supplements, for some reason, give me headaches...so I am trying to get the things I need from my diet! I found this soup recipe that sounded really good and we tried it last night. It was very yummy. I did not add salt to it, but it could use a little for taste. Other than that, it was delicious, filling, and healthy! Spinach, Chicken, and Wild Rice Soup
Ingredients:
3 cups of water
1 14 oz can reduced sodium chicken broth
1 10-3/4 oz can *healthy request* condensed cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed and drained
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
2 cups shredded fresh spinach
About 15 baby carrots, sliced
Directions:
In a slow cooker, combine the water, broth, soup, broth, rice, carrots, thyme, and pepper. Cover and cook on high for about 3 hours, or low for about 6 hours. Stir in fresh spinach and chicken in last few minutes of cooking.
I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.

I am always looking for new soup recipes, and this sounds wonderful. I've just started using flax seed a little bit, too, and it's been an easy addition.
All my fave stuff. Chicken, spinach, carrots. I'll have to try this.
Do you bake bread, Kim? Flax is very good in bread too!
Healthy & Yummy? Are you sure?
Just kidding! It does sound good. I would love to see pictures of your updates renovations when time allows :)
Blessings-
Sounds yummy, I am always looking for something good AND healthy!
Hi Kim,
Thanks for the recipe. It sounds very good. My kids and I get some organic flax seed oil added to our yogurt almost every morning. I also add a little raw wheat germ, a little maple syrup, as we have plain yogurt. Then we add some fresh berries. It is so good, much better than it sounds! lol ;)
I am so curious about your adoption process. I know you update when you have new info. My hubby and I are prayerfully moving forward to adopt in India! Maybe China will be after that. ;)Thanks for your help and input a few months ago.
Blessings~

Please tell me where you got the flaxseed powder.....I cannot find it in my grocery store.....
What aisle was it on?
I have been looking for this stuff.
THANKS - and this recipe looks yummy to me but hubs won't do spinach.....I guess he could pick it out.
This sounds delicious. I hope you don't mind if I added it to my bloggy recipes file in my computer "cookbook". We've got a perfect weekend ahead for a yummy soup. Thanks so much for sharing, Kim.
Kim that looks wonderful. It just got cold here, so soup is just perfect! Plus, the hubby loves soup. God Bless!
This sounds great. I plan to make it this weekend. We love soup and I am always looking for new recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
