Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup

2 cups chopped cooked chicken (I buy this already cooked & chopped)
2 cups chopped carrots (I buy this already chopped up)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pressed garlic clove
1 can 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup
14 1/2 ounces fat-free chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2/3 cup uncooked white rice

Chop chicken, carrots and onion and into soup pot with lemon juice, soup, chicken broth and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add in the uncooked rice, cover and simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.

This is a low fat, low cholesterol, and low calorie recipe! But seriously, the chicken broth adds lots of taste! It is wonderful, light soup that is perfect for nice crisp Fall evenings. This fed Cory and I with a healthy portion left over for Cory's lunch tomorrow. I think this would be a very good recipe for company, it was very pretty in the bowl.
