Mexican chicken and rice soup

Have you ever had the chicken & rice soup at your local Mexican restaurant? It's flavorful, light, and filling. I wanted to try to recreate it at home and it turned out so well!Note: I cook my rice separately, add scoops of it to bowls, and pour the soup over it. You could cook the rice in the soup, but it tends to get really mushy (especially for leftovers). See more recipe ideas!
