CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP



Chicken and Rice Soup image

Recipe video above. You don't need to manhandle a whole chicken to make a beautiful flavour infused, golden, savoury broth. Use chicken pieces instead - it's so much faster and the broth is absolutely incredible! Better flavour that using breast or rotisserie chicken. Inactive simmer time: 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Opt for organic, free-range chicken and fresh vegetables whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken and rice to the pot, it will not cook evenly. Stick to the recommended amounts in the recipe.
  • Season to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. Cook the soup over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chicken and rice soup is delicious on its own, but it can also be served with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or crispy wonton strips.
