Chicken and Rice Soup

I don't know about you, but when it is really cold and snowy like it was today I want SOUP!!! I found this new recipe and it looked awesome. It is a Crockpot meal but it is involved so you make sure that you time it right.

1 Large onion

4 stalks celery

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp basil

1/2 tsp thyme

1/2 tsp sage

20 oz frozen peas

2 1/2 lbs chicken pieces

5 1/2 cups water

3/4 cup rice

Chop the onion and celery. Add to a Crockpot and then add the rest of the ingredients, in order, except the rice. Cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce to low setting and cook for an additional 8 hours. Take out the chicken after this and shred with forks and then add back into the Crockpot. Add the rice and cook another hour on the high setting.
