While we were in Italy, Ivan's dad made this soup that was so delicious I just had to have his recipe. I switched a few things up but in the end the taste was very similar and this is a meal we are going to keep making over and over again. so good!!
The things I changed so if you want to make this a bit differently you can to
I roasted the chicken in onions, garlic, and olive oil. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic salt, paprika, parsley, oregano, and adobo. Ivan's dad used the pressure cooker- which definitely saves time- you can do either way
I used saffron seasoned rice because I couldn't find saffron, but you can also use long grain white rice and season yourself with saffron.
