Healthy Chicken Lemon "Rice" Soup Riff

There are some recipes that require you to be a Grandma - to make a dish that lives in a person's memory forever.  They've been passed down generation to generation and perfected.  I can still remember what our old neighbor's tamales tasted like, and I was like 5 the last time I had them.  Their Grandma would spend all day making them, and they are the gold standard to which I hold all tamales, 30 some odd years later.

Polish Grandma = life changing Peirogies.  Southern Grandma = Red Velvet Cake (made with beet juice thank you very much)  Italian Grandma = Anisette cookies....You get my drift.

My all time favorite though, is one of my Greek friend's Grandma's Lemon Rice Soup.  Rich and velvety, comforting and delicious, I would beg, borrow and steal to get an invite when Ya-Ya was making the soup for dinner.  She even gave me her recipe and while I could make a mean Lemon Rice Soup, it never was close to being as good as hers.

Expanding waist lines and cholesterol levels have driven me to do the unholy - try and make a healthy version, for the slow cooker non-the-less.  I wanted to eliminate the Eggs! and use a complex carb.

This can't go well, right? Wrong!  Now I wouldn't in a million years compare it to hers, but it could stand up to those soups those 24 hour Greek restaurants pump out.

It's healthy, filling, comforting, rich, and delicious!

Ingredients:
5 Cups Water
10 Teaspoons Wildtree Chicken Bouillon
3/4 Cup Bulgur Wheat
1/4 Cup Yellow Corn Meal
1/2 Cup Non-Fat Greek Plain Yogurt
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
2 Teaspoons Wildtree Smokey Bacon Grapeseed Oil
1 cup Rotisserie Chicken
1 1/2 Lemons

Method of Preparation:

Combined water,bouillon, bulgur, salt, and pepper in your slow cooker.  I used a 2 quart slower cooker for this recipe.  Cook on high for 2 hours.

Add cornmeal, yogurt, chicken and oil.  Squeeze Lemons and add juice.  Stir well to incorporate new ingredients. Cover and cook for 1 more hour on low.

I added left over rotisserie chicken because I wasn't sure of the cook time while I made it.  I think it is the best way to go with cooking in the slow cooker for this recipe.

I use Wildtree products in all my recipes.  You could definitely sub, by why would you want to do that?  Wildtree is all natural, GMO and preservative free!
