Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I’m a soup person too! In fact I think I crave it even more during the summer than I do during the winter. You know, I think we have it right. In Thailand, where it is just “hot” and “hotter,” they eat soup ALL THE TIME. See, we’re just smart. 🙂 This looks delicious! I love rice in soup!
I had a craving for chicken noodle soup today and just happened to check your blog…. It was definitely meant to be that I made this recipe! While it wasn’t exactly chicken noodle soup it was DELICIOUS and just what I wanted! Thank you to post this today! I added an extra tbs of the ranch seasoning!
I made this for dinner tonight and it’s soooo good! It’s a keeper for sure!
The soup looks great, but I am really liking that SPOON!!
Looks delicious Jenny. Would be perfect for here tonight – its wet, rainy and cold!
The soup looks great, but I can’t stop drooling over your silverware!
What a yummy looking soup! I agree – soup is good all year 🙂
I had no idea you could get ranch in those little jars. Very cool I’ll have to look for it.
That sounds like such a warm, comfy meal! And how is it that I never knew ranch mix came in a little bottle like that? I need to pay more attention at the grocery store.
This soup looks great just love the ingredients~
What a perfect comfort meal! Wonderful pictures 🙂
Can’t beat a good bowl of chicken soup. I’m thinking that tub of ranch seasoning will show up in the dessert section soon.
uh…..no way on the Ranch Desserts!! I’m crazy, but not that crazy 🙂
I made this for supper last night and my family loved it! Thanks for posting!
So glad your family enjoyed it!! Thanks for sharing with us 🙂
Would love this for lunch or dinner today. Looks delicious! I love rice in soup!
I could eat soup everyday, regardless of the weather. This looks so hearty, but light.
I love your fabulous clean & healthy soup. I too enjoy a bowl of soup year round 🙂 Great seeing you today. xo

I hope I didn’t freak you out by being a picky palate groupie and talking to you on Sunday… I was just so excited that I recognized you and I love your blog. Thanks 🙂
No way! So glad you said hi 🙂 It’s funny, most people who recognize me are people visiting at our church, lol! So glad you said hey….let me know what you think of this soup. It’s similar to the hearty healthy one you like :0)
I will definately make it when we get back home! 🙂
This looks fab and fresh! I love the addition of the ranch seasoning..I am all for anything ranch flavored 😉
Chicken Soup is always a favorite and adding a TBL of Ranch dressing just takes the soup to a new level!

I’m with you – I eat soup all year round. It’s the perfect lunch, in my opinion!
Sounds yummy!! I make chicken soup the same way, but have never added the Ranch. I think my famiy would thoroughly enjoy your recipe!! Thanks for sharing.
Sounds yummy, but more like something I should be making here in Portland, OR because we have had weeks and weeks of rain! How is the weather in the OC? I grew up in Newport Beach and we’ll be staying on Balboa Island for the first few weeks of July.
Looks like a really satisfying soup! Nice touch adding the ranch dressing mix to it, too!
Looks great, even on a hot summer day!
