Ingredients
  

  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 medium lemon juiced
  • 8 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons cooking Sherry
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken deboned and cut into small pieces or shredded
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup cooked Arborio or long grain rice

Instructions
 

  • In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine all of the ingredients except for the rice and parsley. Cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours or on high for about 3 to 4 hours.
  • Alternatively, to add a bit more flavor, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the onions, garlic, carrots, celery, bell pepper, artichokes, and spinach until soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to the bowl of your slow cooker and then stir in all of the ingredients except for the parsley and rice.
  • 30 minutes before the soup is done, stir in the cooked rice and fresh chopped parsley, continue cooking for the remaining half hour. Give the soup a taste and adjust seasoning accordingly, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
