Chicken Noodle Soup is a bit thicker and less chunky than Chicken and Rice Soup. Both soups are easy to digest, easy to make, and very comforting.
Chicken Gumbo is another tasty soup made with chicken and rice. It’s much thicker and heartier, with a roux base. It’s a little more work to prepare, but very delicious.
