EASY SPICY CHICKEN RICE SOUP



Easy Spicy Chicken Rice Soup image

I got this recipe about three years ago from the back of a can of tomatoes (Delmonte, I think), and it's been a hit with my husband -- who isn't a soup fan generally. It's a very easy but good comforting winter soup that also freezes well. Also easy to double recipe.

Steps:

  • Cook chicken with either Cajun or Mexican seasonings-- sometimes I bake the chicken, and sometimes I saute it.
  • (I've also cut up a store-bought rotisserie chicken for this).
  • Dice cooked chicken.
  • Prepare red beans& rice (I like Zatarrain's) per package directions.
  • (it has to cook about 30 min) Meanwhile, combine chicken broth& diced tomatoes; bring to a boil.

TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP



Tex-Mex Chicken and Rice Soup image

This simplified scratch-made soup is a spicy (but not too spicy) step beyond basic chicken soup. Made with chili powder, cumin, green chiles, corn and tomatoes, there's plenty of flavor to go around. Add rice toward the end of cooking to keep the texture just right, and when it's good and hot, serve with crunchy tortilla chips and a helping of shredded Mexican cheese blend for a hearty, satisfying meal in a bowl.
