Roxy was just a bit under the weather last week. She was not acting like she was feeling under the weather, but her stools showed it. She wasn't throwing up, but she had diarrhea for about 3 days. Nothing completely abnormal, just diarrhea. But, I felt like 3 days was way too long and I was starting to worry. So, thanks to all of the advice on here, I gave her boiled chicken and rice as well.
I boiled chicken tenders. I cut them up the middle, and then in half. So, they were fairly smaller pieces. When I fed Roxy, I cut up about 3 - 4 pieces of chicken and gave her about two spoonfuls of rice. That may have been a lot of chicken, but I came to realize that she wasn't the biggest fan of rice. She only ate the rice by default when it was stuck to the chicken. So, I definitely wanted her to have enough food in her. Two days of getting a little extra food can't hurt, IMO.
So, I gave this, and only this, to her for about 1.5 days. I also made sure she had plenty of water and I made her drink some unflavored pedialyte to make sure she wasn't being dehydrated. After this routine for 1.5 days, her stools turned back to normal!
I was going to give her flea medicine, but since she was obviously under the weather, I didn't want to do anything different. So, I would advise against changing her kibble right now until she is feeling better.

^that's the link to the thread I started. It talks about fleas and what not, but members commented about what to feed her and what to do since she was sick. This may help some.
If you think the soup bones may be causing problems, I would definitely stop those. I don't know anything about those, but better safe than sorry. Try bestbullysticks.com. What kind of kibble are you feeding? This could have an effect on her.
Good luck and keep us updated! Hope she's feeling better soon!
