Steps:
- Place the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Melt the butter and toast the pasta 2 to 3 minutes or until golden in color, add the rice and stir to coat. Add 1 cup stock to the pot and bring the mixture to a bubble, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook 15 minutes. Stir in parsley; turn off the heat and cover. Let stand to cool. Fluff the rice with a fork then place in container and store in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, place the rinsed trimmed chicken pieces in a shallow pan with the onion and bay leaves and cover with just enough water to come up to the top of the chicken, bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer and gently poach to cook through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place the chicken in a bowl and shred the meat with 2 forks. Reserve the stock.
- While the chicken poaches start the soup by heating a Dutch oven over medium-high heat with a turn of the pan extra-virgin olive oil, add the chorizo and brown a couple of minutes. Add the onions, carrot, celery, chile, garlic, and piquillos to the pot and season with a little salt and some black pepper. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes to soften, then stir in the saffron threads and paprika to combine. Strain the chicken cooking liquids, about 2 cups, into the pot then add 3 cups stock-in-a-box, chicken, chorizo, and tomatoes. Bring the soup to a bubble, simmer a few minutes to combine flavors then cool completely, cover and place in the refrigerator for make-ahead meal.
- To reheat and serve, place the soup over medium to medium-high heat covered, stirring occasionally until heated through. Add the rice to the soup and return the soup to a bubble. Serve in shallow bowls.

SPANISH RICE SOUP
Got an extra box of Spanish Rice in the pantry? This is a good way to use it up. I think I like this soup more than the spanish rice by itself. You could use more meat if you like or vary the water/beef bouillon content. You could substitute beef broth instead of the cubes too. I use the cubes because I always have them on hand.

ZIPPY SPANISH RICE SOUP
I created this recipe after ruining a dinner of Spanish rice. I tried to salvage the dish by adding more water, cilantro and green chiles. It was a hit with the whole family. It's hearty enough to be a main meal with the addition of a garden salad and some corn bread.-Marilyn Schetz, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and tender chicken or shrimp will make all the difference in the taste of your soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much rice or vegetables, the soup will be too thick and starchy. Add the rice and vegetables in batches, if necessary.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to cook through.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or vegetables: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
Creamy Spanish rice soup is a delicious and comforting dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
