Leslie’s Soon To Be Famous Chicken Soup

My co-worker Leslie sent around a copy of a chicken soup recipe that she often makes. It was titled Leslie’s Soon To Be Famous Chicken Soup. With its classic chicken soup taste and a touch of flavors from her current home state of Texas I think she just might be right. It is soon to be famous. It already is popular in my house and perhaps it will be in yours as well.

Leslie's Soon To Be Famous Chicken Soup

This makes a huge pot of soup. Be prepared for leftovers. You can substitute cooked chicken for the boneless chicken if desired. If you are using minute rice add it last. I've also added a half of a package of store bought shredded carrots in place of the diced/baby carrots.

The original recipe called for rice and potatoes. They can be replaced with riced cauliflower (to replace the rice) and I add in chunks of jicama at times to replace the potato. Don’t forget to add in the additional carbs if you use the jicama (I used it in the picture below). 

If you plan on using jicama I would add the peeled, diced pieces at the very beginning of the recipe as this takes longer to soften up. Save the addition of the riced cauliflower until the very end. Once you add it in the smaller size of the cauliflower will allow them to soften quickly. 

Looking to add more fat? Top the soup with a bit of sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado or sliced olives.
