Directions
- 1. For the Jar
- 2. Place ingredients in jar in this order: Add rice to the jar first. Add the seasoning packet into jar. Fill jar with tortilla chips (I put the tortilla chips into a baggie so that they can be easily pulled out and set aside for use later in the soup). Add the lid to the jar. (put chicken base in a separate baggie)
- 2. Include canned items and the soup mix in a little bag or basket. If doing so.
- 3. Attach the following instructions to the jar, bag or basket:
- 5. For the Soup
- 6. Remove tortilla chips and seasoning packet, and chicken bouillon cubes from the jar and set aside.
- 2. In a medium soup pot, add the rice and water. Add the diced tomatoes and green chiles, the rotisserie chicken or can of chicken (drained), and the seasoning packet, and chicken base from the jar. Bring to a boil; lower the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add more water or chicken broth if needed.
- 3. Add tortilla chips, replace the cover and simmer 5 more minutes.
Notes
- To remove chicken base from baggie easier just snip of the corner of the bag, and squeeze the base into the soup pot, and toss the bag in the trash.
- IF MAKING HALF RECIPE: Suggest these recipe to use up the leftover green chiles and the canned diced tomatoes.
- leftovers: Suggest these to use up the tomatoes, and green chilies
