1 Spray a nonstick soup pot or large Dutch oven with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon, onion, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and softened, about 10 minutes.
2 Add the broth, tomatoes, chicken, and rice; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender, about 40 minutes.
3 Lift the chicken from the soup and set aside until cool enough to handle. Pull the chicken from the bones, then tear or cut into bite-size pieces.
4 Meanwhile, add the broccoli to the soup; return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the broccoli is tender, about 6 minutes. Return the chicken to the pot and heat through. Serve the soup sprinkled with the cheese and pepper.
