My family loved this soup. I substituted Chinese Lo-Mein noodles broken into 1" pieces for the rice. Very easy and delicious.

I fixed this for my wife to help with her cold on Monday. She liked it so much, she fixed it again when she was feeling better on Friday. Very quick, easy, and tasty. She said it's good enough to be served in restaurants and I agree. Our only change to the recipe was to super-size the amount of veggies and rice for a thicker soup. Very good on a cold and rainy fall evening.

I love this quick and easy recipe so much! I just made a few changes to it to tweek it. I didnt add dill weed(not a fan), and instead of fresh carrots and celery i used a can of mixed vegetables so that its quicker and adds more color to the soup. Also instead of adding onions i added a tablespoon of sofrito. This is now going to always be my quick and delicious go to soup!!

Yummy! Used lots of fresh coarse ground pepper, no salt needed and basil as a dill weed substitute (nt a fan of dill weed-yuk). Went w/what I had on hand which was 5 tsp chicken bouillon granules and 6 1/2 cups water vs chicken broth. And, approx 1 3/4 cups leftover jasmine white rice. Took no time to prep! Loved that. Tossed celery, carrot, onion and chicken in the crock pot to sautee in olive oil for a few mins, then switched over to crock setting and added the remaining ingredients to brew for the day. Was fabulous!
