Calamity Kris Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I thought since we are all in this together, a little sharing of knowledge and experience might help us all through. I wanted to start by sharing a recipe I created out of items I have on hand for chicken and rice soup. It's not fancy but when you're under the weather, it will do. Uno likes his soups a bit dense. You may want to use half the package of rice and one can of chicken. EIDT - You will probably want to use one can of chicken and half a package of rice, otherwise it will be REALLY dense. Note: the rice is a package of pre-cooked 90 second microwave rice. Pour the stock in a sauce pan Add the Vegetable Soup Mix while stirring on low, making sure the mix is thoroughly dissolved Add the rice and chicken meat Bring to a boil and simmer 5 minutes. You're done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Yes it's the 90 second microwave rice. It's what I happened to have on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 You could also add green beans and corn with a few slices of onion. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 This is one I came up with a few years ago. I have used this with both of these packaged soups, and it's very good. I would get some boneless skinless chicken thighs. Put about 5 lb of them in the Crock-Pot. Sprinkle them with garlic powder and oregano. Add some chopped onion and a 4 oz can of mushroom pieces. Then pour in a - they're not a pound anymore. What are they 14 oz, 15 oz - can of diced tomatoes. Then dump in a can of Rotel. Do it 7 or 8 hours on low. Enjoy the chicken with vegetables over some rice. But when you are through eating all of the chicken - at least when I am through eating all of the chicken - there will be a large amount of chicken stock/tomatoes/mushrooms/onions/peppers still in the Crock-Pot. I save that. Freeze it. And save at least one (but two is better) of the chicken thighs. That soup mix is simple. Boil a half a gallon of water, dump in the mix, and stir it up. Instead of water I used my saved chicken/vegetable stock. If I don't have a half a gallon I will add water to bring the level up, but usually I've got plenty. Then I tear those chicken thighs into little bitty pieces and dump that in the soup. It's that homemade soup base in the freezer that makes the difference.
