Chicken Veggie Rice Soup


Yes, yet another soup. It is cold here. Haha.

I am trying to eat relatively healthily to fend off winter colds. I don't know if it will work, but I'm attempting it. Haha. So this soup is chicken, veggies, and rice in a simple chicken broth. Can't be bad, right? And it was really easy to make, so it would be an easy week day meal, too. And I'm pretty sure it would feed at least 4 people, maybe 6, depending on how much those people eat and if there was anything else served with it. You could probably add some potatoes too, to make it even heartier and more filling. But yeah. Here we go.

Ingredients:
-5 cups chicken broth
-5 cups water
-3 chicken breasts, cubed
-1 bag (1 lb) frozen veggies (I used mixed veggies-green beans, corn, carrots, peas)
-1.5 cups uncooked rice

Directions:
In a large pot, bring the broth and water to boil over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the frozen veggies and cook another 10 minutes or so. When the chicken and veggies are cooked through, add the rice and reduce the heat to medium/low. Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes or so until the liquid has reduced slightly. Serve hot and yummy! Enjoy!
