CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP



Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup image

A supremely filling, hearty soup. I serve this on cold rainy days with a loaf of homemade bread. Hint: this is perfect for leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken you've pulled from the bone after making homemade chicken stock! This soup makes great leftovers, but you might want to thin it slightly with skim milk or water when reheating.

EASY CREAMY CHICKEN DUMPLING SOUP



Easy Creamy Chicken Dumpling Soup image

This is my homemade Chicken Dumpling Soup. It has a slightly creamy base, not quite a cream soup, but not a broth either. The dumplings are not the fluffy kind, but chewy, more like an egg noodle. I use chicken breasts, just a preference, but you could use any type of chicken pieces. It freezes great, but is best to freeze without the dumplings, and make the dumplings when you serve it.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY CHICKEN SOUP WITH LEMON, RICE AND DILL



Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Soup With Lemon, Rice and Dill image

This lightly creamy and incredibly comforting soup is all about the almost-austere interplay of chicken, broth, white rice and lemon. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice: Any variety will work. Tempering the yolks (slowly whisking hot broth into them) ensures that they will emulsify and thicken the soup, and not scramble. Use a half cup of lemon juice for an assertively tart soup, but, for a gentler effect, use the smaller amount. If you prefer, you can use an equivalent weight of chicken legs instead of thighs.

Provided by Sarah DiGregorio

Categories     dinner, lunch, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, peeled, trimmed and halved
2 celery stalks, halved
5 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 bay leaf
3 1/2 to 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 8 thighs)
6 cups chicken broth or stock
Black pepper
Kosher salt
2 cups cooked white rice
1/3 to 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 large lemons), more as needed
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sour cream
1 small bunch dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and bay leaf in a 5- to 8-quart slow cooker. Pull the skin off half of the thighs and discard it (or save to render the fat at another time). Add the chicken to the slow cooker and top with broth. Season generously with pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt if you are using low-sodium broth or 1 teaspoon salt if using homemade unsalted stock. (Do not add salt now if you are using fully salted broth.) Cover and cook on low for at least 4 hours and up to 6 hours. If it's more convenient, you can let the slow cooker switch to warm after 6 hours. The soup will hold on warm for about another 2 hours before the chicken starts to dry out.
  • With a spoon or ladle, skim and discard any obvious foam and fat from the top of the soup. With tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and vegetables to a bowl and strain the broth. Discard the vegetables (or if they still have flavor, set them aside for a snack) and let the chicken cool while you finish the soup. Return the broth to the slow cooker, and switch the heat to high. Stir in the rice, cover and let the soup heat up until it is at least steaming hot, or bubbling a bit around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk the lemon juice, egg yolks and sour cream in a medium bowl until creamy and combined. Dip a liquid measuring cup into the hot broth. While whisking constantly, very slowly drizzle about 2 cups of hot broth into the lemon juice mixture until fully combined and smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker with the rest of the soup and whisk for another minute or so, until the soup starts to thicken enough to lightly coat the back of a spoon. Coarsely shred the chicken meat and add it into the soup, discarding the bones and skin. Stir in the dill and taste the soup. Add salt if necessary, and more lemon juice and black pepper if you like. If the soup isn't hot enough, cover and let heat on high for another 10 minutes.

CREAMY CHICKEN CACCIATORE SOUP

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the noodles
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Pinch of turmeric
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine (any kind will do)
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
6 ounces egg noodles
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a 5 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place skin-side down in the pot. Brown for 4 to 6 minutes on the first side, then flip and brown for 4 to 6 minutes on the other side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the mushrooms, garlic, bell peppers, onion, thyme and turmeric to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the edges are starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the white wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for 3 minutes. Use your spoon to scrape the sides and bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits that might be stuck there. Add the chicken stock, diced tomatoes and chicken thighs. Season the soup with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Fill a 4-quart pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the noodles, put back into the pot they were cooked in and toss with a scant tablespoon of olive oil; set aside.
  • When the chicken is ready, transfer it to a cutting board. Using 2 forks, remove the chicken from the bones and shred. Some skin will end up in the mix, which is totally fine. Add the shredded meat back to the soup. Discard the skin and bones.
  • Add the noodles to the soup, as well as the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Simmer for a few minutes to heat everything through. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
  • If you are making this soup ahead of time, undercook the noodles by 2 minutes as directed on the package, so they don't overcook when the soup is reheated. Alternatively, cook the noodles, drain, toss in olive oil and store separately, adding them to the soup once it has been reheated. Serve as directed above.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your soup. Opt for fresh, organic vegetables, and free-range chicken.
  • Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the soup will give it a richer flavor. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't just stick to carrots and celery. Try adding other vegetables like onions, leeks, parsnips, or turnips. This will give your soup a more complex flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: You want the vegetables in your soup to be tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to taste your soup as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Let the Soup Simmer: The longer you simmer your soup, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for up to an hour.
  • Serve with Toppings: When you're ready to serve your soup, add some toppings like chopped parsley, croutons, or shredded cheese. This will make your soup even more delicious.
