Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the vegetable soup mix according to package directions, using enough water to create a generous broth, and bring to a simmer in a large pot.
  2. Add the drained canned chicken and the tomato paste to the pot, stirring until the paste is fully dissolved and the soup is heated through.
  3. Break the spaghetti into smaller pieces to fit the pot, then add it to the simmering soup and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the instant rice and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid and swell slightly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or dried Italian herbs if desired, then serve hot in bowls.
