How to make a Vegetable and Rice Soup with Chicken
Level up from a classic chicken noodle soup to a Vegetable Soup with Chicken and Rice, fewer calories and more nutrition.
It has been a while since I have posted a soup recipe. It is not because I haven’t been cooking soups (I cook soups at least twice a week), but mainly because I have been experimenting with soups and didn’t want to post something I wouldn’t make again. My whole family enjoyed this chicken, rice, and vegetable soup even on this hot summer day.
Like most soups should be, it has a good amount of vegetables and protein but is nice and light in flavor. Simple soup recipes are so much better than needing to find not-as-common ingredients for a dish. In this recipe, almost all of the ingredients are ones that you’d most likely have on hand. That’s a good reason to make this soup!
Broth makes a great base to lots of soups, but when you don’t have any at home, this soup is a great go-to. It only requires water, chicken, and potatoes to make the base, and even then you still keep the potatoes and chicken and enjoy them with the soup! That sounds like a win-win recipe to me.
