Creamy Chicken Vegetable Soup

Ok so I decided to make Cream Chicken Vegetable Soup today because its so healthy and yummy! This is an adaption of my mother in law's recipe to what our family prefers! We like a thicker soup than her original recipe.

Recipe:

Creamy Chicken Vegetable Soup
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cans of chicken broth
water
1 cup rice
4 small peeled cubed potatoes
1 lb carrots, sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 large bunch of celery, chopped
1 can corn (including the juice)
1 can cream of chicken soup(or cream of celery)
Salt and pepper to taste

Put 2 cans of chicken broth on to boil and add water til it fills your pan about 3/4 full. Next add chicken, and season with pepper Bring to a boil and simmer until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken from pan and let cool.

Add all other ingredients to chicken broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour until all vegetables and rice are tender. While broth mixture is simmering, shread the chicken and add the chicken back to soup mixture.

Serve with crackers or cornbread.

Conclusion:
This soup is delicious. It makes you want to cook this soup everday for the rest of your life. It is hearty but healthy. It fills up Mr. Hungry Man. I think tonight I might even puree some up for Little Football boy. Princess Belle isn't much of a soup eater quite yet. She doesn't like "hot" things and she is lacking in the patience area. I'm sure she will eat some tonight though with crackers because she loves anything she can eat with crackers. Anyways, make this for your family. You won't regret it. You will feel like you are the best mom in the world for making it too.

Enjoy :)
