This Easy Chicken & Rice Soup is an amazingly creamy & comforting soup,

that is full of flavor & perfect for a family dinner during the cold winter months!

It’s easy to make and is perfectly paired with a simple salad & a loaf of buttery crusty bread!

It also freezes easily & can be stored in an airtight container for 2 months!

I love freezing individual portions to take out for easy lunches throughout the week!

This delicious soup is also easy to make in the Instant Pot, crock-pot or on the stove top as i have here

Soups are one of my favorite things to cook because they are the ultimate one pot meal! They are easy to make, tastes fantastic & freeze really well!

After many of my different soup recipes, This one was voted a family favorite!

Perfect for an quick & easy weeknight dinner, when you want a mouthwatering meal with minimal effort!

In this recipe I used skinless chicken breast but any type of chicken would work, such as rotisserie!
