Chicken Rice Vegetable Soup
From: "Down Home Cookin' Without The Down Home Fat" by Dawn Hall
- 14 cups water
- 4 chicken flavored bouillon cubes
- 4 whole bay leaves
- 1 can (15-16 ounces) spinach
- 1 can (15-16 ounces) sliced stewed tomatoes
- 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen oriental-style mixed vegetables
- 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 teaspoon sweet basil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon garlic salt
- 3 cups cubed chicken breast
- 2 cups long grain rice
Bring chicken to a boil in 14 cups water. Remove fat from chicken water by pouring through a strainer filled with ice over a large pot. The ice will collect the fat from the water. If needed, do it two or three times. Add all ingredients, except rice, to chicken water. Once again, bring to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve hot. Very important: remove bay leaves before serving. Noodles can also be substituted for the rice. Adjust amount of noodles as desired.
