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.

3 cups chicken broth or 3 cups water
1 1/2 lbs chicken, seasoned (I prefer breasts)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Choose organic chicken, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, the soup will be watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, so that they have room to cook properly.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chicken rice soup include shredded chicken, cooked rice, chopped vegetables, and crumbled bacon.
