Best Lunch Box Taco Chicken Soup Recipes

LUNCH-BOX CHICKEN SOUP

Lunch-Box Chicken Soup image

A friend gave me this recipe, and I tweaked a few things to make it healthier. It's so delicious and quite easy to make! I use it for family gatherings, church functions, care packages...just about anything. For shortcuts, I sometimes replace the celery and carrots with 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables. The prepackaged rice saves time, too, so you can have the soup ready and waiting even when the kids are busy with activities. -Jean Ann Fairchild, Shelby, Ohio

A zesty mexican style soup. It is a simple slow-cooker recipe that only takes a few minutes to put together. I got this recipe from a co-worker and then added a couple of touches of my own.
