Fast Chicken Rice Soup

This recipe for chicken or turkey soup is wonderful, and takes very little time to prepare because everything goes into the pot without the need for sauteing. Omitting this step gets dinner on the table much quicker, and with far fewer calories. An added blessing at the end of a busy day when the family is tired and hungry. Blessings...

Recipe: 

8 cups chicken broth
1-1/4 cups thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
dash of black pepper
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken or turkey
1 cup uncooked instant brown rice

1. In a large saucepan, combine broth, celery, onion, pepper and poultry seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until celery is tender.
2. Add chicken or turkey, and rice; cover and set aside for 5 minutes. Stir and taste to make sure the meat is heated through and the rice is tender. Yummy!
