Tasty tender chicken, our favorite BBQ sauce, a couple of veggies and this soup is in your pot nice and quick. Using a few supermarket shortcuts also makes this a weekday favorite. It's not hard for us to pick out our favorite BBQ sauce as it comes from the local Sugarfire Smokehouse down the road from us, but the rest of the world might not be as lucky as us. A sure winner for substituting is our next favorite: Sweet Baby Rays.
To make this soup a weekday dinner, I use a rotisserie chicken and pull the meat from the bones. That saves so much time and energy and the chicken is already warm and juicy. Read on!
BBQ Chicken Soup
1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed from the bones
1 c BBQ sauce
1 c cauliflower rice (Minute rice works, too!)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 T oil
2 c chicken broth
2 c water
Heat oil in the soup pot, add onion. Cook until translucent. Add cauliflower rice and cook until browned. Add in stock and water, stir, deglazing the pot. Add in BBQ sauce. Stir well. Add in chicken. Reduce to simmer and simmer 30 minutes. Garnish with your favorites: green onion, sour cream or shredded cheddar cheese.
