Easy Chicken and Rice Soup

It just so happens that my boyfriend and little brother are sick. So to make their sore throats feel better, I made chicken soup from scratch today for dinner. Here's my recipe for Chicken and Rice soup my way.

2 chicken breasts, cubed
1 small chopped onion
3 gloves of garlic
1 stalk of celery
1 carrot
1 can of peas
1/2 cup rice--brown or white
1 bottle of beer
2 cans chicken broth
1/2 cup water

Vegeta--about 2 TBS
Paprika
Savory
Black Pepper
Thyme
Rosemary

In two table spoons butter ( I use light Country Crock), sauté onions, celery, garlic, and cubed chicken. Add chicken broth, beer, water, carrots, and rice. Stir occasionally and bring to boil. Simmer and cook until rice is done. Add peas and the spices above to taste. Simmer for about 15 min. It really doesn't take that long. I think start to finish it was about 45 min.
