After the weather turned suddenly autumnal, Kevin and I were in the mood for soup. It was a dark, dreary, rainy evening and nothing sounded more perfect. It had been too long since I made a pot of soup, and I'm so glad I rectified that. Something good came of that rainy day. :)
This particular soup took 5 minutes to throw together thanks to having leftover rice and chicken on hand. I would recommend cooking this soup the night after you've had a dish with rice and chicken (cook extra!) It would be just as delicious using freshly cooked rice and chicken, but utilizing leftovers is just too good to be true.
