Categories     Chicken Soups

Number Of Ingredients 20

START IN THE MORNING FOR DINNER TONIGHT
2 - chicken leg quarters
5 quart(s) fresh water
2 - bay leaves
1 tablespoon(s) himalayan sea salt
COOL BEFORE YOU CLEAN THE MEAT FROM THE BONES
2 - carrots, chopped
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/4 - head of green cabbage, sliced thin
2 stick(s) celery, sliced thin
1/2 - bell pepper, diced
1 cup(s) sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoon(s) minced garlic
1 tablespoon(s) dried parsley
2 teaspoon(s) italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon(s) cayenne pepper (optional)
- salt & pepper to taste
3/4 cup(s) dry brown rice
SIMMER ANOTHER 25-30 MINUTES TO COOK THE RICE
1/2 cup(s) white cooking wine (optional)

Steps:

  • Add chicken quarters, salt and bay leaves to a 5 qt soup pot, fill with fresh water, cook over med-low heat about 6 hours- or until the meat is falling off the bones. Remove bay leaves, meat and bones from the pot. Use a strainer to get everything. Set meat in the refrigerator to cool while chopping the veggies.
  • Chop all your veggies and add to the pot. Add Spices and rice.
  • Pick meat from the bones, chop and add back to the pot.
  • Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and cover tightly. Simmer over low heat 25-30 minutes to cook the rice. Remove from heat, add wine if using.
  • A Note about Gluten and Casein Free Ingredients: Since my family began this diet, we have discovered that you always have to read the labels on the foods you buy. This week when shopping I may buy something that is clearly gfcf and next week when I look for the same item I will notice they have changed the ingredient list adding dry milk, or maltodextrin, or some other questionable ingredient. I find that it's best to stick to unprocessed foods whenever possible- make it from scratch. My son is on the autism spectrum, its not the end of the world if he gets a little gluten or casein, while it may ruin his day, it isn't life threatening. I always watch him for symptoms and note the offending food. Please keep this in mind while selecting your ingredients for my GFCF recipes. Happy Careful Shopping! :)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Look for organic, free-range chicken and vegetables whenever possible.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chicken rice soup include shredded cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Chunky chicken rice soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a hearty and flavorful soup that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a comforting and nutritious meal, give this chunky chicken rice soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
