My oldest daughter absolutely adores the Maurice Sendak book, Chicken Soup with Rice: A Book of Months.
We had been reading it quite regularly when my daughter asked if we could have chicken soup with rice. I obliged and threw together a recipe of my own.
For the past couple of months, this soup has been a staple in our house, so I figured it was time to share the recipe with you!

Of course, once the soup has settled in our bellies, we gather in the living room and dance to Carole King’s song, Chicken Soup With Rice.
Enjoy this yummy soup and delicious song!
