Chicken & Rice Soup

:  January/February 2010

Your rating: None Average: 3.9 (16 votes)

This is a great, easy chicken-and-rice soup. We like to use instant brown rice because it cooks so quickly, but you could substitute cooked brown rice (stirred in at the end) if you have it on hand. Try the recipe with other herbs if you like, such as dill or tarragon.
