Tasty Tuesday: Chicken and Rice Soup

Fall officially fell upon us last week as the temperatures dropped and with it brought a nasty case of bronchitus.  Not fun.  Below is one of my favorite soup recipies to make when you're feeling sickly. 

Chicken and Rice Soup

8 cups water
8 tsp chicken soup base (or 5 cubes of chicken bullion)
2 chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
4 carrots, chopped
3 stalks of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 bayleaf
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup uncooked white rice (or 1 cup of noodles if you prefer)
salt and pepper

Combine water and soup base in large pot.  Bring to a boil.  Add chicken, carrots, onion, bay leaf, garlic powder and celery.  Reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until veggies are soft.  Add rice and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender adding more water if necessary.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
