Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 3-1/2 pound free-range chicken, cut into 8 pieces and patted dry
1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 stalks celery, trimmed, diced
2 medium leeks, light green and white part only, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
10 sprigs flat-leaf parsley plus 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat- leaf parsley leaves
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
6 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1/3 cup converted long grain rice, cooked according to package instructions

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with the 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the chicken, and saute until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Remove meat from the pan and pour off any fat left in the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the remaining butter. Add the celery, leeks, and carrots, saute for 10 minutes. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme and bay leaf with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot along with the chicken and broth. Bring the soup to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the chicken and herb bundle. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the soup with a spoon or a ladle. When the chicken is cool enough to handle remove the meat from the bones and cut into 1-inch chunks; add the meat to the soup along with the rice. Cook until the meat and rice are heated through. Season the soup with salt and pepper and chopped parsley. Divide the soup among warm bowls and serve.
