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..
