Chicken Happiness Soup

Once back when I was in graduate school, I made Nigella Lawson's Happiness Soup. It was pretty good, but it didn't seem grounded exactly, so I made some additions. Here's the recipe: Meat from one whole roasted chicken Zest and juice from one lemon 3T olive oil 2-3 yellow squash not peeled but minced 1t tumeric half a teaspoon cumin half a cup of Basmati rice 4+ cups chicken stock salt to taste Heat the oil in a pan on medium. Add the zest and the squash. Let cook for five minutes until soft. Add the spices and lemon juice and stock. Let simmer for a minute. Add rice and let simmer for 10-20 minutes until the rice is cooked through. Done! It's so good to eat it room temperature. I highly recommend that.
