We all loved this super easy soup! I added sage, thyme,celery salt and salt and pepper for the spices. Added the veggies and rice at the same time or I think the veg would be too crunchy.Great for using up leftover chicken from a rotisserie. - 5/1/17

Very good-- Cooked in a crock pot-- Still-frozen chicken breasts on the bottom, 1 hour on high, and overnight on low. Shredded the chicken with 2 forks.
Used Parsley, Thyme, Savory, Salt, and Pepper.
Added green pepper.
Good and budget-friendly-- makes the house smell warm & welcoming, too!
