Warm, Hearty and Healthy Chicken and Rice Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
3 large chicken breasts
1 container Pacific Foods Organic Low Sodium Chicken Broth
4 cups water
2 cups chopped fresh spinach or kale
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper and 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 carrot, chopped
1 container fresh pico de gallo (try Whole Foods or Sprouts- yum!)
3-4 garlic cloves (I love garlic and sometimes use 5)
2 TBS each fresh rosemary and thyme
1/2 cup (dry) brown or wild rice
Spices to season: Bragg 24 Spice seasoning, black pepper, cumin and sea salt (use sparingly and taste periodically throughout cooking to add more if needed)
Directions:
In a large pot, sprayed with cooking spray, sautee bell peppers and onion 2 minutes until onion is clear. Add chicken and sautee 1-2 minutes until slightly browned. Add garlic and sautee another minute.
Add carrot, spinach, pico, rice, broth, water and seasonings - stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour (can also cook in a crock pot on high 2-3 hours if desired).
This soup is GREAT the next day after all flavors have combined and freezes/reheats beautifully!
