Make this healthy soup on cold winter nights. It's chock full of fresh ingredients including onion, tomato, cremini mushrooms, and broccoli. Rice adds a nice texture to the vegetables. Cooked chicken breast adds a flavorful protein. You can use leftover turkey, beef, or pork instead of the chicken if you like. If you like, use a 10-ounce box of frozen broccoli spears thawed and coarsely chopped, instead of the fresh broccoli. Serve this soup with a salad, cornbread or grilled cheese sandwiches. Take leftovers for lunch the next day.
