How to make Mexican Chicken Soup with Rice?

When adding rice to soup, it is always best to make your rice separate and pour your soup over the top. Unfortunately, when you put the rice in the soup to cook it can become mushy.

Can you freeze soup?

Yes, you can freeze soup! Be sure to freeze it in an air tight container. It will typically last up to 2-3 month. Thaw before warming up to serve.
