Chicken & Brown Rice Soup

Hearty Tasty Soup

I absolutely love soup! No matter the season—spring, summer, autumn, or winter—soup is my ultimate comfort food and go-to meal. There’s nothing like a warm, hearty bowl to fill you up and keep you satisfied. And this recipe is truly on point; it has everything you need for a wholesome, nutritious meal.

This soup is packed with delicious ingredients that elevate its flavour and boost its nutritional value. The brown rice adds a satisfying, nutty flavour and a lovely texture, while each ingredient contributes its own unique benefits.

One of my favourite parts? You can easily add leftover chicken! Just shred it up and add it towards the end of cooking so it warms through without drying out. It’s a perfect way to use up leftovers, and it blends right in with the soup.

In our opinion, this is total goodness in a bowl. And here’s the best part: it’s only 6 WW points for a generous, filling portion! It’s healthy, delicious, and keeps you full—what more could you ask for?

The original recipe belongs to Spend with Pennies, however I have made a few changes to suit our tastes and WW.
