#25: Chicken and rice soup

This one tasted way better than it looks in this pic. I made up my own recipe for this (should be pretty close on the amounts).

Recipe:
1 whole chicken
3 stalks celery
1 medium onion
Carrots
7 cups chicken stock
2/3 cup of rice
1/2 can of black beans
2 cups half and half

Cut chicken into pieces and brown in the soup pot on each side. Add in the stock and vegetables, then simmer for a half hour. Remove the chicken pieces, shred them, and add them back to the pot with the rice and beans. Simmer for another half hour. Turn the heat to low, add the half and half, and cook until it's warmed through.
