Spicy chicken and rice soup

Chicken second courses

Not like I get takeout Chinese all the time, but when I do, it usually leaves me with 2 containers of white rice that typically go in the trash. I so hate wasting food, it drives me crazy! Recently we had takeout for dinner with a friend of mine. We ordered so much food, we had THREE containers of leftover rice! I searched for a recipe for Chicken and Rice Soup, since that sounded good to me at the moment. I found a basic recipe and as I was cooking it, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to add some spice. So, I turned to my trusty Trader Joe’s Taco Seasoning (heads up, I use it for everything BUT tacos!). I ended up with a Chicken and Rice Soup with a nice kick. It really hit the spot. And I banished my leftover white rice problem forever.
