I love southwestern chicken and rice soup, and it has to be spicy. Not everyone in our home likes their chicken soup spicy which means at some point we need to compromise.
Having several stainless steel stock pots makes this task easier. The chicken stock with the bones can be prepared in the first pot which will eventually be divided between my favorite soup and possibly chicken noodle. Another possibility is simply dividing the same soup into a portion to be eaten immediately, and some to freeze for a rainy day.
