Spicy and light chicken and rice soup. Best served with warm cornbread and a cold beer!
Instead of white rice, I used wild rice. I did not have fresh chile peppers, I used one 4 oz. can of mild diced green chilies. I also upped the garlic powder to a full teaspoon. After tasting it, I added a teaspoon onion powder and a little red pepper flake. Not a bad soup, I liked that it was quick, easy and used pantry ingredients.

Giving this a 4 star based off of how easy it was and that it used staple ingredients. I do however feel it could use some jazzing up. It has a Southwest/Tex-Mex feel to it to me and so next time I might add some beans, corn, cilantro, black olives, and top with tortilla chips. Regardless, I will make this again and play around with more ingredients. Thanks for sharing!
I've made it twice. 2nd time I added a 14 oz can of hominy to a double batch. Put half the rice in the soup and the other half in the rice cooker. 2nd time used really spicy fresh roasted hatch chilis and it was amazing!!!
Great base recipe for adding whatever you love! We and only had sushi rice and barley, so I made pearled barely in place of the rice. So good! I would t even know where to find fresh chili’s in my area, so I used a 7 oz can of diced chili’s with the juice. We also added beans and corn because our toddlers love them. Because of the barley, corn and black beans, I used 4 cups of stock instead of 3, and it worked well. They are also obsessed with sour cream, so a dollop went on top. This is an amazing recipe, even before I added the extras at the end!
Love this recipe. I didn't have fresh chilies so I used one small can of mild and one large can of hot chilies. It gave a great kick to the soup. The only other thing I changed was I used garlic infused olive oil. Hubby loved it. I loved it. Great cold night soup and not a ton of calories!
