A few years ago, I started making homemade soups. Sometimes they take longer to cook, but they taste so much better than in the can. And now I can’t even eat canned soup because I just think how much better it would taste if it was homemade. One week I made Greek Chicken Pitas and made a little extra chicken. I decided to use the extra chicken to make chicken and rice soup. It turned out great! Here’s the recipe I came up with:
Chicken And Rice Soup
Leftover chicken
(or you could cook a few chicken breasts and shred them)
A few stalks of celery, cut up
A couple of carrots, sliced
1/2 – 1 onion, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
8 cups of chicken broth
1 cup of brown rice, uncooked
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. oregano
bay leaf
Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hrs. Add more chicken broth, if necessary. Discard bay leaf and serve with fresh bread.
