Made 6 (minor) changes to bring it to 5 star. 1)used EVOO instead of butter 2)halved the rice, 3)doubled the carrots, 4)added 2 cups more broth, 5)added 2 TBSP boullion granules (for more flavor & instead of salt), 6)cooked the rice right in the broth (ONLY for the time stated for the rice). DH and I LOVED it. Thank you Marge Wagner for a delicious way to use up leftover chicken!

This soup does taste really good. My only problem was that the soup was really thick and needed more liquid than stated. I added frozen peas & carrots to the pot along with the onions and celery. Also, I had leftover bone in chicken breasts which I shredded and added to the soup in the end to heat through. I skipped out on the lemon juice as hubby doesn't like it. I will definitely make this again as it is a great way to use up leftover chicken and frozen vegetables. Could also try this by substituting the rice with pasta.

A nice, easy chicken rice soup that was comforting to the belly without adding extra fat. We left out the celery and wine and increased the amount of rice, carrots and chicken to make it even heartier.

This was so yummy! I used brown rice and added some herbs. It came out a bit thick so next time I think I'll use a little less rice and more liquid.

This soup was delicious! It was warm and creamy but not too heavy! The only changes I made were adding more chicken broth and a little bit more of the vegetables. I would def make them again!

This was the best chicken and rice soup!! It is now one of my favorite soups and it is soooo easy to make! I did omit the wine.

Made this today but I made a few adjustments. I added a teaspoon of combined oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. I also added about cup of shredded cheddar cheese. In my opinion, it gave the soup a better flavor and what isn't better with cheese!! I think another reviewer mentioned that it didn't make for very good leftovers and I agree. The rice soaked up all the moisture and I was left with a kind of pasty rice. All in all a delicious soup that I will make for years to come. :)

I made this soup tonight and it was wonderful. The lemon juice and wine are a wonderful addition. I made it exactly as printed except I used 1% milk because that's what I have and left out the pepper because I don't like it. Highly recommend this yummy soup.

My husband said that this is the best soup he has ever had. He said it could be served at a five star restaurant. It is very good, and easy to. The only changes I made were to make my own broth, use brown rice and for the milk I used half milk and half 1/2 and 1/2. The only reason I made that change was because I had half a container of 1/2 and 1/2 left over from a Christmas recipe, and I was low on milk. Next time I'll just use 2% milk.

I just made this for my dad who has high blood pressure and he loved it. I was looking for something with low sodium. I didn't add the salt and even used unsalted butter. The rest of the family loved it too. I did use brown rice and halved the lemon juice and added peas. Yummy!!

I made this for my family for Christmas Eve and everyone LOVED it.

Very nummy! The only changes I made were I used leftover turkey and left out the lemon juice and wine. Very delicious. My husband even liked it and he rarely compliments my cooking!

Yum! I didn't have celery, but I had a bunch of frozen veggies -- I used 1 1/2 cups each of frozen carrots, frozen corn and frozen green beans. I thawed the veggies and then added them to the onion sauteed in butter after approximately 3-4 minutes. I used much more garlic powder per our tastes. And I didn't have white wine -- so just used lemon juice. Delicious!!!

This is really, really good! I used brown rice to give more nutrition and texture. Great comfort food.

This is the most amazing soup I have ever made!!! I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I have to admit, though, I did make it a lot more unhealthy. I used cubed chicken thighs instead of breast, I used the full sodium chicken broth (but did not add more salt), and I used a mixture of milk and cream. But this is SO good! I also used shallots instead of onion, and I added peas. I will probably make this once a week, it's so good. I call it "Clean Out the Kitchen Soup" because I had to make it the day before grocery shopping (and my cupboard was looking pretty bare!). Thank you thank you for this recipe!

This came out really good, but I did a few things differently based on a friend's advise. We cooked the onions and then added raw chicken on the bone and some water and boiled it until done, then deboned and chopped the chicken. This made our stock. Then we added the rice, and made the roux when the rice was done. The white wine and lemon juice really gave this soup great flavor. A+ recipe, great proportions, just really good soup. Thanks
