Chicken and Wild Rice Soup - Progresso Rip-Off Recipe

Directions:

1. In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is opaque on all sides and beginning to brown.
2. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften. (Mine gave off a lot of liquid during this step.).
3. Add the tomatoes with juice, stock, water, basil, thyme, parsley, and oregano. Season to taste with black pepper. If your stock is unsalted, you might want to throw in some salt to taste, too. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables are softened to your liking. (This took about 45 minutes for me.).
4. When the veggies are soft enough, add both kinds of rice and simmer for about 5 minutes more. Taste, adjust the seasoning, and serve.
