CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP
Recipe video above. You don't need to manhandle a whole chicken to make a beautiful flavour infused, golden, savoury broth. Use chicken pieces instead - it's so much faster and the broth is absolutely incredible! Better flavour that using breast or rotisserie chicken. Inactive simmer time: 30 minutes.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE FROM SCRATCH
This recipe is from a Pillsbury Classic cookbook and, with a few minor modifications, I wanted to share it. It is a truly home-made with love chicken soup. I am making it today because....I feel a cold coming on and just want to curl up with a steaming bowl of deliciousness!! :-) I suppose you could make this in a crock pot but the thought of a soup pot on the stove is comfort in itself!! (Note: If you prefer noodles to rice, add 1 cup of uncooked egg noodles during last 10 minutes of cooking time).

Steps:
- Combine chicken and water in large pot. Bring to a boil. Skimm off any scum that rises to the top.
- Reduce heat to med/low; cover and simmer 15 minutes.

- Bring broth to a boil. Stir in chicken pieces, celery, carrots and rice - I add a little more onion too. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until veggies/rice are tender. I add the peas for the last 10 minutes. If you are using noodles instead of rice, add uncooked noodles at this stage.
- Add parsley or green onion if desired.

CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE OR NOODLES
I adapted this from a WW cookbook for my parents who always get chicken with rice soup. It is best when made totally from scratch and the chicken is cooked in a crock-pot but can be made using a store roasted chicken. I have also used red leaf lettuce and spinach in place of the escarole.

- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of sour cream are all great options.
