Tonight I made a soup that turned out really good.  I had boiled a whole chicken a couple of days ago.  Whever I do this, I always save the broth and some of the chicken for casseroles, soups, etc.

Here's what I put in the soup:

• Several cups of chicken broth
• A cup or two of cooked chicken cut into pieces. 
• One can of cream of celery soup.
• One can of cream of chicken soup.
• One can of carrot slices drained.
• A large handful of greens from the garden--torn into pieces.
• A bunch of garlic chives from the garden--cut into pieces.
• One cup of brown rice.
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

I let this simmer until the rice was done.  Note:  I added the greens towards the end of the cooking (about the last 20 minutes) so they would not overcook.  I also added water towards the end as my soup seemed a little thick.  I am not even sure what kinds of greens I have had growing all winter.    I think it was kale and mustard.  Anyway, we could really taste and smell them in the soup!

It was pretty yummy!
