Creamy Chicken Soup Over Rice
There were many busy weeknights as a family of six when the only thing that we could get on the table was canned cream of chicken soup. Add some rice, and you’ve got a quick and easy meal to feed the many hungry mouths, all while being delicious! We aren’t sure if you’ve looked at the ingredients for that soup lately, but they’re not the best for the gut. We’ve re-created this canned soup to be dairy-free and even more delicious. Our version does take a bit longer to throw together than opening a can, but we think that extra effort is worth the wonderful flavor of this dish.
