A great choice that the entire family will eat, and maybe even have seconds.  **Creamy Chicken & Rice Soup** Active Time: 35 Minutes Yield: Serves 8  Total Time: 35 Minutes A little heavy cream adds body and richness to classic chicken and rice soup, and collard greens make it heartier and more nutritious. If you're looking for a tasty side, we recommend this [Buttermilk Drop Biscuits Recipe](https://www.southernliving.com/recipes/buttermilk-drop-biscuits-chive-mustard) that gets extra flavor from chives and whole-grain mustard. Cut down on cleanup by making this chicken soup with leftover cooked white rice or with one package of microwavable white rice, such as Uncle Ben’s. Save prep time by using bagged pre-washed and pre-cut collard greens. You can also substitute leftover shredded chicken (or turkey) for the rotisserie chicken. Best of all, this comforting soup will be ready to eat in 35 minutes. ![Kurk Homes_Southern_Living_Recipe](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Kurk%20Homes_Southern_Living_Recipe.png?width=800&name=Kurk%20Homes_Southern_Living_Recipe.png) **[Courtesy of Karen Rankin ](https://www.southernliving.com/author/karen-schroeder-rankin)** Tags: [Lifestyle](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/tag/lifestyle), [Tips](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/tag/tips), [Southern Living](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/tag/southern-living), [Tradition](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/tag/tradition), [Recipe](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/tag/recipe) ### Related Articles ## [The Five Benefits of Building Custom Waterfront Homes](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/the-five-benefits-of-building-custom-waterfront-homes) ## [Which Southern Living Home Should You Tour: The Showcase Home or the Idea House?](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/which-southern-living-home-should-you-tour-the-showcase-home-or-the-idea-house) ## [5 Design Tips for Spring and Summer](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/5-design-tips-for-spring-and-summer) ### Subscribe to The Chronicles of Marketing Newsletter ![logo-nahb-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-nahb-2x.png) ![logo-txasscbuilders-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-txasscbuilders-2x.png) ![logo-ghba-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-ghba-2x.png) ![logo-southernliving-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-southernliving-2x.png) ![logo-custombuilders-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-custombuilders-2x.png) ![logo-greaternewbraunfels-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-greaternewbraunfels-2x.png) ![logo-energystar-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-energystar-2x.png) ![logo-bbb-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hubfs/logo-bbb-2x.png) SOUTHERN LIVING SHOWCASE HOME AND DESIGN CENTER [106 Dedication Trail Huntsville, TX 77340](https://g.page/Kurk-Homes-Huntsville/) GREATER HOUSTON OFFICE [12022 Zion Road Tomball, TX 77375](https://g.page/Kurk-Homes-Greater-Houston) HILL COUNTRY OFFICE [426 F.M. 306 New Braunfels, TX 78130](https://g.page/KurkHomesHillCountry) CONNECT WITH US  [![icon-facebook-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/icon-facebook-2x.png?width=40&name=icon-facebook-2x.png)](https://www.facebook.com/KurkHomes/) [![icon-instagram-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/icon-instagram-2x.png?width=40&name=icon-instagram-2x.png)](https://www.instagram.com/kurkhomes/) [![icon-pinterest-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/icon-pinterest-2x.png?width=40&name=icon-pinterest-2x.png)](https://www.pinterest.com/kurkhomes/) [![icon-youtube-2x](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/icon-youtube-2x.png?width=40&name=icon-youtube-2x.png)](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf7cuBMJ4mQw0xRGFjmiZnQ) [![icon-houzz-2x-1](https://blog.kurkhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/icon-houzz-2x-1.png?width=40&name=icon-houzz-2x-1.png)](https://www.houzz.com/pro/kurk-homes/kurk-homes) [Privacy Policy](https://www.kurkhomes.com/privacy) | [Credits](https://www.kurkhomes.com/website-credits) | [Site Map](https://www.kurkhomes.com/sitemap)  ©2024 Kurk Homes.
