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: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, fresh vegetables, and a good-quality chicken broth.
Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the chicken and vegetables to the pot, make sure there is enough room for them to move around and cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the ingredients will steam instead of sauteing, and the soup will be less flavorful.
Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken is a protein-rich food, so it's important to cook it thoroughly to avoid foodborne illness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before serving.
Season the soup to taste: Once the soup has finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

This simple chicken rice soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold day or a quick lunch. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a flavorful and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
