Now that it is a little cooler you may be looking for something a little warming. This is probably the easiest soup to make other than opening a can.
Cock - A - Leekie Soup
6 c. Chicken Broth
6 Leeks 1 c. Min. Rice
1 c. Cooked Diced Chicken
2 tbsp. Minced Parsley
Boil chicken until tender. Remove chicken from pot and dice. Split leeks and cut into 1 inch pieces. Add rice, chicken and parsley. Simmer until leeks are tender.
This recipe I got from a friend of mine. She was Polish and her husband was Ukranian, so it is a mixture of the two.
There are no quantities, but it works out great no matter what.
