Everything-In Chicken 'n Rice Soup


Hi again, here is a simple soup recipe. Sure, there are many ingredients, but when you chop, prep, and measure in advance, you just throw everything in when it's ready to go in!
Enjoy.

You'll need:

- 2-4 large roasted chicken thighs (roast in advance with salt, pepper, oil and shread the chicken)
- 1/2 cup wild rice blend
- 1/2 cup split yellow peas
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 celery, sliced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 small potatoes, diced
- 1 small sweet potatoe, diced
- 1/2 can red kidney beans- save the rest for pasta sauce later in the week.
- handful of broccoli florets
- 2 scallions




Spices 'n Flavorings:
-1/2 tsp each, oregano, turmeric, black pepper, dry mustard, cumin.
- dash of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes for spice!(add more if you like it hot!)
- 2-4 tbsps of your favorite chicken soup bouillon mix (or to taste)
- salt to taste


1. Heat up a large soup pot with oil and saute onions, garlic, salt, pepper, rice and split peas for 5 minutes. Add in all spices/flavorings.

2. Add in carrots and celery and then enough water to cover everything (maybe 6-8 cups).

3. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cover.

4. Cook enough so that rice is almost done (mine was 50 minute rice) and add in potatoes to cook.

5. With 5 minutes left, add in broccoli, scallions and red beans.

6. Add cooked chicken.

7. Taste... maybe more salt?

8. Serve.
