Creamy Chicken Rice Soup, Apple Apricot Smoothie, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Banana Wraps

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow we are going to a school BBQ so here is a recipe for Creamy Chicken Rice Soup.  I love homemade soup and I thought this looked good.  My husband won't eat rice in anything so I could never swing this one.  Let me know if you try it.   Also, here is the breakfasts for this week.
