Chicken and Rice Soup (115 calories!)

Ingredients:
4 oz raw chicken (100 calories)
¼ cup brown rice (90 calories)
1 clove of garlic (4 calories)
2 baby carrots (6 calories)
2 tablespoons of celery (practically none)
1 tablespoon of green onions (also practically none)
2 chicken bouillon cubes (10 calories)
2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half (20 calories)
2½ cups water (0 calories)

Instructions:
Add water and rice to a pan and bring to a boil. Add chopped carrots, celery, and green onions and reduce to a simmer.
In a separate pan, cook the chicken and chopped garlic on medium heat. When it is finished cooking, use a fork to shred the chicken, then add it to the rice and vegetables.
Cover and let vegetables cook until carrots are tender (about ten minutes), and then add half-and-half. Add seasonings (I use a teaspoon of thyme and a pinch of oregano, sage, pepper, and onion powder) and a splash of lemon juice (optional) before serving.

Makes two servings; 115 calories per serving.
