Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe

One of my favorite things about cooler temps has nothing to do with cozy sweaters or warm boots and has everything to do with food. I love that as the weather cools I can enjoy more homemade soups. This is definitely a comfort food for me – it warms and fills my belly simultaneously and takes the nip out of the air.

This week as I was deciding what to make for dinner, I decided to try something new for dinner as opposed to just plain chicken and rice. It occurred to me that maybe chicken and rice soup might turn out good. I'm glad I tried my experiment because it was a success. My mom as at my house that night to to give me my progesterone shot and she loved it so much she ate it for dinner and then again for breakfast the next morning.

    I love creamy soups! It’s hard to choose a favorite soup, but when I want to be healthy, lentil soup is my favorite & when I want something super fattening, nothing beats broccoli cheddar soup in a giant bread bowl. 🙂
