It's Cold in Florida Today!

It's cold in Florida today!  A nice day for a hot bowl of soup.  I love the chicken & wild rice soup at Panera Bread but it's a little "pointy" for Weight Watchers.  So I found a recipe that looked similar & I trimmed it down.  So for your Weight Watchers out there (or even if you're not), it's 4 points plus per 1 cup serving.  Here's the recipe:

5 2/3 c. water
1 pkg. long grain & wild rice mix (I used Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice Original Recipe)
1 env. chicken noodle soup mix (I used Lipton's)
1 celery rib, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1/2 c. chopped onion
2 cans condensed cream of chicken soup (I used Campbell's 98% FF)
1 cup cubed cooked chicken

Directions:
In a large saucepan, compbine water, rice with contents of seasoning packet, and soup mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover & simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in celery, carrot, & onion.

Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in chicken soup & chicken. Cook 8 minutes longer or until rice & vegetables are tender.

Yield: 8 cups
