Vibrant Chicken Soup {Chicken, Brown Rice, and Avocados - Healthy!}

During the cold weather months, I make soup often, but with this Vibrant Chicken Soup, that is another story.   I like to make it all year around.

My daughter in law, Brandy introduced me to this soup a couple of years ago around the Thanksgiving holidays.

We like to make it during the holidays to offset all the rich food we are eating, like anything will, but it sure sounds good.  (giggles)

Chicken, brown rice, and avocados are just a few of the ingredients in this healthy soup recipe.   The recipe calls for skinless-boneless chicken breast, but in a pinch we have used canned chicken.

This soup is homey, cozy and super easy to make, not to mention Healthy!  Posting the recipe so you can have a healthy soup during the holidays too.  Enjoy!

This recipe and others can be seen at these linky parties here!
