Greek lemon rice soup

This soup will make your whole home smell heavenly. It's a simple delicious combination of chicken broth, white rice, freshly squeezed lemons and fresh parsley. Cook 1/2 cup white rice in one quart chicken broth, until rice is cooked. Combine juice of 3 lemons with 2 eggs and 5 tbs fresh parsley, incorporate the hot broth into the egg mixture before adding it to the pot with a whisk, mix and let thicken. I also added some chicken breasts to make it more of a meal. Serve with French bread or oyster crackers.

Chicken tortellini soup

This is my go to comfort soup starting in the fall and all winter long. It's easy because I used premade chicken herb tortellini. Sauté 2 cups chopped baby carrots, chopped celery and 1/4 cup minced onion in olive oil and minced garlic. Once soft, add a carton of low sodium chicken broth and chicken stock along with chopped spinach, parsley and white pepper. You bring all that to a boil and then add the tortellini, turn off heat and summer 20 minutes. Serve with warm bread.
