Chicken and Rice Soup

After all these years of blogging, I can’t believe I haven’t posted a classic chicken and rice soup recipe.   Well here it is!  This is a delicious, simple chicken soup and if you have a rotisserie chicken, the soup will come together in no time.   It’s perfect comfort food for a cold night, or for when you have a cold. I loved the addition of Dijon mustard. It added a subtle complexity to the flavor. I didn’t have whole grain Dijon, so I used smooth. I used my pressure cooker to cook the chicken breasts, and they cooked in minutes, and they shredded nicely.

I was hoping that the boys would be interested in trying this, but no luck, other than my husband. Too much orange and green in it.  When will they learn?
