Fall Comfort Food

One of my favorite fall comfort foods is homemade chicken and rice soup. I will be making a double batch of this for a party we're having here in our home tonight. A couple weeks ago I made some using leftover chicken.

4 cups of leftover chicken

10 cups of water seasoned with 4 Tbsp. of chicken flavored "Better than Bouillon."

1 cup diced carrots

1 cup diced celery

1 cup diced onion

1 Box of Chicken Flavored Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice

1. Cook the onions and celery in the chicken broth until tender.

2. Sauté the onions in a little butter and then add to broth.

3. Add the chopped up chicken.

4. Add the rice and seasoning 1 hour before serving.

This is so good!

I do want to find a way to reduce the sodium of this recipe by using my own homemade broth and not using a boxed rice mix. Do you have any recommendations? I know so much of the flavor from this soup comes from that little pre-packaged packet of seasonings in the rice mix, but we are trying so hard to get away from all boxed and canned foods.
