Chicken-mushroom Soup

I love soup from scratch, but every now and then, I take the easy way out. This is one of the recipes I use for leftover meat. I usually use chicken, but it will work with any type of meat.

Very good flavor and oh so easy. I forgot to add the carrots but it turned out just fine. I very much like this not being a creamed soup as I prefer the taste and lower fat content of a broth soup. I chose not to thicken it, it wasn't needed with all the rice, chicken and veggies. Thank you JQ for a keeper.Reply
