5. Cook: Cover and set the Crockpot to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
6. Check Rice: About 30 minutes before it’s done, check to see if the rice is tender. Add a little more broth if necessary.
7. Serve: Once cooked through, ladle the soup into bowls. Top with shredded cheese, if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley or basil.
