- Place all ingredients except rice into a large soup pot.

- Add rice. Once soup is boiling again, place lid on firmly and simmer until rice is done, about 45 to 50 minutes. (Steam cooks rice, so only lift the lid when necessary and be sure soup is boiling.)

- Press the "Soup" button. If using brown rice, cook for 20 minutes. If using brown and wild rice, cook for 30 minutes. (Note: Actual cook time will be longer because it will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure before it cooks.)
- Carefully quick release the pressure, then remove lid. Stir soup and serve.
Slow Cooker Instructions
- In a crockpot, add all ingredients except the rice.
- Turn the crockpot on HIGH and cook for 3 hours.
