Introduction

My go-to chicken soup recipe uses rice instead of noodles, and plenty of veggies. Pan-roasting the veggies before adding them deepens the flavor. My go-to chicken soup recipe uses rice instead of noodles, and plenty of veggies. Pan-roasting the veggies before adding them deepens the flavor.
