Asian-Style Chicken Soup
This is a basic Chicken & Rice soup remade utilizing light and aromatic Asian flavors. The nutritional profile of regular chicken soup just can’t compare to this version with fresh garlic, ginger, cilantro and a rainbow of vegetables.
Most Chicken & Rice Soups are heavy with white rice, thickeners, and sugars. This beautiful soup is so flavorful, you won’t miss any of the additives.
