I love this recipe, but exchanged rice with orzo and added shredded carrots at the end of cooking. Delicious!

I was worried I wouldn’t like this soup while I was making it because it just seemed SO SIMPLE, but on a night when groceries were lean I was willing to give it a shot since we had everything we needed for the soup! It turned out being one of the BEST chicken soups I’ve ever had and I made it twice in one week! The chicken turns out wonderfully tender… Chicken soups tend to have chewy, rubbery chicken, but not this one! Highly recommend this recipe, it makes a lot of soup though so be ready to feed a family of 5 or have leftovers for days!

So yummy. Didn’t have a pepper or pimentos, but was still delicious! My 7yo loved it and told me so several times. When going to reheat a bowl of leftovers, my 17yo, said, “Mom, do I use the hard stuff on top, or scrape it off?” I replied, “Leave it, it’s butter!!!!” Will be a regular in the winter rotation.

I had never made soup of any kind before, so I was nervous, but this turned out super-good!

this soup is wonderful!!! we made it without the bell peppers and with a whole onion– the flavor was amazing! plus, we added a bit of red pepper seeds to the mix to help clear out our sinuses! we feel so much better now!

This was wonderful soup. So good, in fact, that my family has requested it be added to the home recipe box for permanent rotation. Yummy!

Best chicken soup I’ve ever made! The first time was a bit salty because my boullion cubes must have been bigger (or saltier) than the ones Ree used, so now I’ve cut the cubes down to just 3 or 4. I love this soup!!

This is THE BEST chicken rice soup I’ve ever made. I found it a long time ago on your blog and tried it right away. It is always a much loved & begged for recipe in my house! Everyone who I’ve served it for asks me for it as well! I’m going to try to add some lemon next time!

This is truly a simple, hearty soup. The flavor is great and is perfect for a lunch or on a cold evening. The best part is that it’s easy to make. I buy whole chicken and cut it up, freezing individual parts until ready to use. For this I did use the chicken back portions instead of breasts, and it turned out great!
