Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup image

This soup was inspired by my co-workers love for the Panera's Cream of Chicken and Rice soup - I made my take of it and she loved it so here it is for all of you! A little healthier in that it doesn't have any heavy cream.

I love that this soup is made with brown rice. Brown rice is a healthier option than white rice, and it gives the soup a nutty flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken after I make a roast chicken. This soup is a great way to use it up and make a delicious meal.
