EASY SPICY CHICKEN RICE SOUP



Easy Spicy Chicken Rice Soup image

I got this recipe about three years ago from the back of a can of tomatoes (Delmonte, I think), and it's been a hit with my husband -- who isn't a soup fan generally. It's a very easy but good comforting winter soup that also freezes well. Also easy to double recipe.

3 cups chicken broth or 3 cups water
1 1/2 lbs chicken, seasoned (I prefer breasts)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes

  • Cook chicken with either Cajun or Mexican seasonings-- sometimes I bake the chicken, and sometimes I saute it.
  • (I've also cut up a store-bought rotisserie chicken for this).
  • Dice cooked chicken.
  • Prepare red beans& rice (I like Zatarrain's) per package directions.

  • Add prepared beans and rice; heat through.
  • Spoon into bowls and top with cheese.

EASY PRESSURE COOKER SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP



Easy Pressure Cooker Southwestern Chicken and Rice Soup image

This soup is fast, easy, and full of flavor. Rotel (tomatoes with green chiles) comes in various levels of spiciness so choose the one that suits you- mild, original, or hot. I used the "original" variety and this is perfect if you like a "medium" spicy salsa. For those who love fresh cilantro, stir some in at the last minute. It adds great flavor!

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1 1/3 cups water
1 (10 ounce) can tomatoes and green chilies, not drained
1/2 cup salsa
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 rotisserie-cooked chicken
1 cup rice, cooked as directed on package
16 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the rice as directed on the package and refrigerate. This will be heated at the last minute in the microwave and added to the bowls as you are serving. If you add it while cooking, the rice will swell and your broth will be gone.
  • Remove half of the meat from the rotisserie chicken, chop, and add to a pressure cooker. Freeze the rest of the meat for sandwiches or the next time you want to make this soup. Add the chicken broth and water to the pressure cooker.
  • Puree the Rotel tomatoes, chicken bullion, salsa, chili powder, cumin, onion flakes, salt, and lime. I use a stick blender because it's so easy. Add all to the pressure cooker.
  • Add the bag of frozen mixed vegetables to the pressure cooker. No need to thaw.
  • Once your pressure cooker reaches full pressure, reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes with the regulator rocking gently. Let the pressure drop completely before opening the pressure cooker.
  • To serve, spoon desired amount of heated rice into a soup bowl. Ladle the chicken and vegetable soup over the rice. Stir in chopped cilantro if desired.

MY FAVORITE SUPER EASY CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP



My Favorite Super Easy Chicken and Rice Soup image

I got this from Epicurious.com but I think it was originally from Gourmet Feb 1999. It's so easy, it's probably the only recipe I've actually memorized. And it's so delicious, I'll make this at least once a week. It freezes well too. I've frozen it for a few months and it came out great. I've used chicken breasts as an easy, healthy way to add the chicken, but the best chicken to use is left over roasted chicken from the store.
