One of our favorite Peruvian restaurants in Charlotte makes this amazing chicken and rice soup. Unfortunately, pretty sure it’s loaded with MSG because I get a massive headache after eating it.  This was our spin on a healthier version that I often make with leftovers.  It makes for a quick and easy meal on busy school nights..

2/3 c. Red onion (diced)

2/3 c. Red pepper (diced)

1.5 tsp. Salt (may have to play slightly with this as my broth was pre-seasoned/salted)
