This isn't MY dad's chicken soup recipe, it's just what it was called. I think this originally came from Bon Appetit. I have always made it with pasta instead of rice. The thyme in this is what makes it tasty. Prep time does not include cooking the chicken.

Time 1h

8 cups canned low sodium chicken broth (or more--I usually use more like 12)
1 onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice (or pasta)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
2 cups diced cooked chicken
salt and pepper
chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring first five ingredients to boil in heavy large pot or Dutch oven over high heat.
  • Mix in rice and thyme.
  • Return soup to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until rice is tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Add chicken and simmer until heated through, thinning with additional broth if desired.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer soup to large bowl.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.
  • Note: if using pasta instead of rice, add it with the chicken and simmer until the pasta is tender.
  • I like corkscrew pasta in this.
