Expert Tips

Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.

Soup is a great way to use leftover chicken. Make a double batch and freeze some in 2-cup amounts so it can be easily thawed and heated when needed.

Cilantro has a lively pungent flavor that some describe as slightly soapy. It's used often in Mexican, Indian and Indonesian dishes. Also called Chinese parsley, it's a key ingredient in pico de gallo (salsa).

I made this with Zatarain's Spanish Rice Mix. I made the rice according to the directions on the box. At first, I was going to have the rice as a side but then decided to actually mix it into the soup. Absolutely delicious!!! I thought it made the recipe! Loved it...so did my husband.
