LOW-SODIUM CHICKEN RICE SOUP



Low-sodium Chicken Rice Soup image

A nice, warm soup for people who prefer to eat reduced-salt food. Sometimes I add carrots, mushrooms and/or zucchini. If you don't have sherry, use dry white wine, or if you don't have wine, white-wine vinegar or rice vinegar will do. Whatever you do, don't use "cooking sherry" or "cooking wine" if you're aiming for low sodium, because these have salt added to them. Cooking time doesn't include time to cook chicken; I generally make this with left-over cooked chicken.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 8h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 stalks celery, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick chunks
3 large carrots, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick chunks
2 large sprigs dill, plus 1/4 cup chopped dill fronds and whole fronds, for serving
2 large sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1/4 small onion, peeled and root end intact
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 thighs)
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Toss the carrots and celery together in a slow cooker. Add the dill, thyme, bay leaf, onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Rub the chicken thighs all over, including under the skin, with 1 teaspoon salt total, and place them on top of the vegetables. Add the chicken broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. During the last 15 minutes of cooking, remove the chicken and stir in the rice. While the rice warms through, remove and discard the chicken skin and bones and shred the chicken (it will mostly fall apart on its own).
  • After the 15 minutes, turn off the slow cooker and remove the dill and thyme stems and the bay leaf. Add the shredded chicken and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste and add more lemon juice and salt as needed. Stir in a good amount of pepper and the chopped dill. Serve hot topped with whole dill fronds.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

low-sodium chicken broth 4 cups (32 fl oz/1 l)
long-grain white rice 1/3 cup (21/2 oz/75 g)
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 2
carrot 1, peeled and diced
celery 1 stalk, diced
frozen peas 1 cup (5 oz/155 g)
garlic 1 clove, sliced
thyme, dill, or parsley 1/2 teaspoon dried or 1 teaspoon minced fresh
salt and ground pepper
fresh lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the broth, rice, and 2 cups (16 fl oz/500 ml) water in a saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Add the chicken to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the chicken, uncovered, until cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Using tongs, lift the chicken pieces out of the broth and put them on a plate. Set aside to cool.
  • Stir the carrot, celery, peas, garlic, and thyme into the saucepan. Raise the heat to medium and cook until the vegetables are softened and the rice is tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Taste the broth and season with salt and pepper to taste and a squeeze or two of lemon juice, if using.
  • Shred the chicken or cut it into bite-sized pieces and add it back to the simmering soup. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Ladle servings of the soup into insulated containers as needed and close tightly to keep warm. Don't forget to pack a spoon! (Let any remaining soup cool, then cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze in individual portions for up to 4 months.)

Tips:

  • Use low-sodium ingredients. This includes using unsalted butter, low-sodium chicken broth, and fresh vegetables. You can also use herbs and spices to add flavor without adding sodium.
  • Cook the rice separately. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy. You can cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. You want the vegetables to be tender-crisp, not mushy. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are bright and colorful.
  • Add the chicken and rice to the soup. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, or celery salt.

Conclusion:

Low-sodium chicken rice soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. By following these tips, you can make a low-sodium chicken rice soup that is both flavorful and nutritious.
