Happy November! It’s Time for Sunday Soup Days

As November starts with a chill in the air and the crisper weather begins to creep into the east coast, I’ve been craving hot soup. Once winter is in full swing, I am making soup almost every Sunday. It’s become a bit of a tradition to take it slow on Sundays and have a full day to experiment with new soups and stews (or,even “Stoups” as Rachael Ray calls them). This year will be no exception and I thought it was about time to start simmering!

This Sunday I am making a traditional Country Chicken Vegetable Soup. This is the type of soup your grandmother would make. The long grain rice adds a great heartiness and you can throw in any hearty vegetables you like. I’m a fan of carrots, celery, peas and corn in this recipe. Enjoy!
