This really hit the spot on our first cool and dreary Fall day of the year. I added some chopped fresh parsley I needed to use up, and subbed 2/3 cup Lundberg's wild and brown rice blend, for the wild rice. Worked great. Great flavors and an easy soup to make, using leftover cooked chicken. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.
