Chicken & Rice Soup

Hey all! Melissa (the wife) here! I'm here to share one of our new favourites with you: Chicken and Rice soup. So simple, I'm thinking that I may actually be able to make this on my own :)

First you need to cook the chicken.

We added carrots, celery, onion and garlic.  Sage, rosemary, thyme, salt and peppercorns were added to the broth for flavour.  Boil the chicken for approx 2hrs.

Once the chicken is cooked, take it out of the broth and remove the meat from the bones. (We saved the breast meat to make Taquitos tonight!)  Return the chicken meat to the broth and simmer for 1hr.    After the soup has been simmering for 40minutes, go ahead and add some rice.  We added about 2 cups. (remember, the rice will plump up to about double what you added)

Serve and Enjoy!

This soup fed us both for supper and there are 3 bowls left over to freeze for lunches.
