INGREDIENTS
minced onion (1-2 cups)
chopped carrots and celery (1-2 cups total)
Olive oil
grilled chicken tenders - cut into small soup-size pieces
2 - 32 oz. containers of Chicken Stock
2-3 cups brown rice (already made)
DIRECTIONS:
In a big soup pot -
Saute the onions, carrots and celery in the olive oil until tender
ADD in the chicken tenders
STIR
ADD the 2 containers of Chicken Stock
ADD in (already cooked) brown rice
SEASON with salt and pepper, Mrs. Dash, seasonings of your choice
OPTIONAL:
Feel free to add in a package of frozen chopped spinach, or chop up a zucchini, or other green vegetable of your choice.
Keep cooking on low for a couple of hours for flavors to mingle together nicely
SERVE in your favorite soup bowl and ENJOY!
You can make this soup in less than 15 minutes with all of these ingredients which can be purchased at Trader Joe's (the chicken already grilled, e.g.) They even have already cut up celery, carrots, and onions if you want to make things even quicker! And, I think they even have an already cooked brown rice that you can use, though I cook up a batch weekly and just add it in to my pot of "Soup of the Week" (in the cold weather season!).
EASY-PEASY!
Of course, you can make you own chicken broth easily enough, too. After finishing with a roasted chicken you can always take the carcass and put it into a soup pot - covered with water. Add salt and pepper, bring to a boil. (you can also add carrots, celery and onions for flavoring) Keep cooking it until the meat is falling off the bone and the room smells nice!
POUR through a strainer and separate all the broth from the bones, skin, meat, veggies, etc.
Put the broth in freezer container for future use (or pour into an ice cube tray to get small servings to add to meals), or use it right away as a base to make your own soup - if chicken - add in new pieces, not the "tired" roasted/boiled pieces!" Same with carrots, onion, celery...cut and saute fresh ones for the soup.
