Zesty Chicken Soup with Tomatoes and Rice image

This is a zesty North African soup. The chicken can be served in the soup or reserved for other uses. If you'd like a leaner soup, omit the oil. Instead of sauteing the onion and chicken, simply add them to the water and continue cooking the soup as below.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of salt next time.

The soup was good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it helped a lot. I also think it would be better with some fresh herbs, like basil or oregano.
