Want more soups? You’ve come to the right place! Sausage and White Bean Soup, Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi, and Potato Soup are all on my list to make yet this month.
Why This Recipe Works
Filling and nutritious — While I enjoy a good chicken and noodle soup, there’s something about this chicken and rice version I am enjoying especially here lately. It’s not only warm and filling but also nutritious too! Chicken broth is naturally low in calories, chicken is a great source of protein, and the veggies are perfect on their own or can be doubled for an especially good-for-you soup packed with lots of vitamins and minerals.Comforting — During the winter months, I’m eternally grateful to the soup inventors. Especially as the cold weather has been breezing through starting in the late afternoon and through the evening, making me want to eat nothing but soup for nights on end.Pre-cooked chicken — Use leftover chicken from last night’s cookout or pick up a rotisserie chicken on your way home from work, shred, and add to this deliciously easy (mostly) homemade soup.Veggies — I’m sorry but I just can’t have any kind of chicken soup without the addition of onion, carrots, celery, and lots and lots of fresh herbs. They’re tasty, pretty to look at, and they add lots of nice texture to boot.
Expert Tips and Tricks
Want to add an extra boost of flavor and richness to this easy chicken and wild rice soup? Stir in 4 ounces of softened cream cheese in step 4. Always go for quality broth whenever you can (or make your own!). It makes ALL the difference! If you want to change up the flavors in this chicken and rice soup a bit, you could try a different flavor of broth. You could also add a hearty green like spinach or chopped kale during step 6 as well if you like the taste and nutrition of leafy greens.
