  • Combine chicken broth, condensed soup, 2 cans water, diced tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon vegetable seasoning in an 8-quart stockpot over medium heat; bring to a slow, rolling boil.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, mushrooms, onion, and remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable seasoning and cook until onion is translucent and chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic salt, salt, and pepper.
  • Transfer chicken mixture to the stockpot and bring to a rolling boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes.
  • While the soup is cooking, bring 1 1/2 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Add rice to the soup and continue to simmer, adding more water to reach desired consistency, for 1 hour.
