Easy Chicken and Rice Soup

I had a craving for chicken and rice soup the other day and was looking for an easy way to make broth without resorting to canned broth. Allrecipes.com has a recipe that’s a compromise between canned and homemade broth. It uses a pre-cooked, store bought chicken and simmers the skin and bones in a mixture of water and canned broth. Sure, it’s cheating a bit, but you’d never know! Store bought rotisserie chicken comes in a variety of flavors now. I used one with cracked pepper and sea salt, so I didn’t need to add additional salt and pepper to … Continue Reading →

Updated Source: Mickey’s Gourmet Cookbook (modified by Dawn DeMeo) Seems like I haven’t made this in quite a while! My husband was so impressed with it. I thought for sure I’d made it for him before, I guess I hadn’t. It’s my favorite chicken pot pie recipe, but it does take a bit of time to put together. It’s absolutely worth it, though! I’ve made some changes to the original post. Aside from adding photos, I changed a couple of measurements to make it easier. The amounts are actually the same, you just no longer need to dirty measuring cups … Continue Reading →
