Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe
If you have always made chicken soup with cream or milk or have always thickened it using flour or egg yolk, it's the time for a change. You will understand what I mean after you try this recipe. It's both tasty and filling. Especially for those nights when you are craving a light dinner, this soup is ideal.
Because normally, soups are not the most filling dishes and if you only have soup for dinner, you find yourself hungry again in the middle of the night. This will not happen if you have this soup, because as I said, it's extremely filling and satisfying. Since it contains rice, it might not be ideal for your diet. But you can reduce the amount of rice in it if you want. Also this recipe is great for using up any chicken or rice leftovers from the day before. I really hope you give this hearty soup a try!
