Can I make Chicken and Rice Soup Ahead?
This soup is better served when it is made. When the soup sits or is placed in the refrigerator, the rice will continue to soak up the liquid and can become a bit soggy. If you need to make this soup ahead, make the rice separate and add to the soup before serving.
