Venetian Chicken-Rice Soup image

Rice is an extremely popular grain in the Veneto region of Italy. If you're making this soup a day or two before serving, don't add the rice. At serving time, reheat the soup until almost boiling. Then add the rice and cook according to the recipe. From Cooking Club of America.
