Mushroom Sage Chicken & Rice Soup

Mushroom Sage Chicken & Rice Soup

My guess is we have just as many Roast Chicken recipes as we do Chicken Soup recipes.  Why am I guessing?  Let me count and get back to you.

Actually we have 11 Whole Roast Chicken Recipes and only 9 variations of Chicken Soup.  That would explain why our freezer is overflowing with Homemade Chicken Broth and why this recipe needs to be shared (since we made it back in July).

This particular soup started with this gorgeous bird and a whole lotta flavor love.  Our Mushroom & Sage Roast Chicken is one of my favorites.

The glorious broth infused with flavor made my task of soup queen quite a breeze.
