    I tried this soup recipe out this week. It was delicious and very easy to prepare. I threw in half of a seeded jalapeno pepper diced just to add a little more heat. It tastes even better the next day.

    Oh my! I used to live very close to this restaurant. We loved their soup and since moving out of state, we haven't found anything that compares. Imagine my excitement when I found this recipe. . . . AND both my husband and I were jumping for joy when I made it for dinner. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this recipe!

    This looks so good!! I can't see on the recipe where you add the chicken back into the soup. Do you add it and simmer it for the hour with the rice and other ingredients?
