Spicy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup


Nothing is better in January than some piping hot, homemade soup. This is a favorite of mine, but maybe that's just because I like spicy. You may reduce the amount of jalapenos in it to meet personal or family preference. It comes together quickly and is perfectly healthy.

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
3 large carrots, diced
3 celery stalks, diced
1 Tbsp finely chopped jalapeno (canned or fresh)
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chiles
1 tsp Bon Appetit seasoning
3 (14 oz) cans chicken broth
3 cups cooked long grain and wild rice mix
2 cups chopped, cooked chicken
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in Dutch oven or large sauce pan over medium high heat. Stir in onion, carrot and celery. Saute for 5 minutes. Add jalapeno and green chilies and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Sprinkle with Bon Appetit seasoning and slowly stir in chicken broth. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and continue simmering until heated through.
