You can adapt the recipe to your preference; if you want to add chopped cooked chicken, use chicken broth in place of vegetable broth.
When my family tried this soup, they all had to have seconds, and my husband is happy any time I put it on the table. Sometimes I include cooked, crumbled bacon and serve it with mozzarella cheese.
We enjoy using zucchini or squash in the summer, and you can also change up the herbs in the dressing.
This fresh rice dish tastes like the Mediterranean in a bowl! It is short on ingredients but packs in so much flavor. For a hand-held version, leave out the rice and tuck the rest of the ingredients in a pita pocket
