Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1 ¼ pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
-
7 cloves garlic, divided
-
6 cups unsalted chicken broth
-
1 medium leek, white and pale green parts only, sliced
-
1 large carrot, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4 inch thick
-
½ cup wild rice
-
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
-
¾ teaspoon ground pepper
-
8 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 ½ cups English peas, fresh or frozen (thawed)
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
8 (1/2 inch thick) slices whole-wheat baguette, toasted
Directions
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning once, until deep golden brown, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Finely chop 6 garlic cloves and add to the slow cooker along with broth, leek, carrot, wild rice, salt and pepper.
-
Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender, 3 hours on High or 6 hours on Low. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and shred into bite-size pieces; discard bones.
-
Add asparagus and peas to the slow cooker; cook on High, uncovered, until the vegetables are bright green and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken, parsley, chives and lemon juice.
-
Halve the remaining garlic clove and rub the cut sides over both sides of toasts. Drizzle the toasts with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Serve the soup with the toasts.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
