Thyme was what made this great. Many positive comments. Used Rotini pasta. Sliced the carrots and onions thin instead of dicing for more rustic appearance

This was a quick, easy & tasty way to use up leftover chicken - as well as some leftover cooked rice, which I added at the very end! I scaled the recipe in half - but increased the broth to 6 cups. Thanx jmelyn!

I cooked this in my crockpot for eight hours to sell at my daughters field hockey game. Before half time of the Varsity game, it was all gone. The past was a nice twist.

We loved the flavor of the soup. Loved the balance between the thyme and chicken flavors. I started out with 10 cups of broth and added another 3 cups of broth after the rice cooked in.

Our family really enjoyed this recipe...I used egg noodles this time, but plan on trying the rice...the thyme did make a wonderful difference...Thanks for sharing this.

I chose this soup to use up some of the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and it was superb. I used 5 14-ounce cans of low sodium chicken broth, 2 of those were roasted garlic flavored so I didn't add the chopped garlic. Also, I used bow-tie pasta as that's what I had on hand. My DH and I ate 2 big bowls each, yummy, and we have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. This would freeze well too. I'll definately be keeping this soup recipe close at hand for future use. Thanks jmelyn for a great additon to the Zaar collection.

This is a flavorful recipe, but 1 cup of uncooked rice is way too much. It was more like "rice with chicken" rather than soup. I ended up straining the broth and then picking out the chicken & carrots to recombine them in more pleasing proportions. A lot of work for a simple soup. If you try this recipe, start with 1/2 cup rice.

Very good soup and pretty easy to make. I used Ditalini pasta and found it the right amount for what the recipe called for. Update; adjusted this recipe for my (electronic) pressure cooker & it came out amazing. I browned the chicken abit & then threw all other ingredients in before closing the lid. Simple recipe with great flavours, thanks for sharing.
