BROCCOLI, RICE, CHEESE, AND CHICKEN CASSEROLE



Broccoli, Rice, Cheese, and Chicken Casserole image

This is a delicious twist to broccoli, rice, and cheese casserole, and is VERY easy to make. You can also cut this in half. I use the 1 can cream of mushroom soup when I make half. You can also leave out the onion. It just gives it a little added flavor, but is still very good without it.

BROCCOLI AND RICE SOUP



Broccoli and Rice Soup image

My husband asked me to make him something relatively mild for his stomach. He was coming off a cleans and didn't want to upset his stomach too much right off the bat. I thought soup should do the trick. He loved it. Hope you do as well. Note: I used Great Valley Rice Medley from Costco
