CHICKEN " SOUP " RISOTTO STYLE!



Chicken

Chicken Risotto. A yummy creamy ( as in texture but has no cream ) chicken, rice and veggie concoction I made last night for dinner. However, I used sushi rice instead of the typical italian arborio- but it absorbs just as much!! Good stuff. As for taste...think of your favorite chicken soup recipe...but risotto syle. If you use arborio rice you may need to increase liquid and cooking time...it takes a little longer to cook than sushi rice (approx. 5-10 mins..) read the instructions on your package of arborio rice to get an idea.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 chicken breasts or 6 chicken thighs, cubed
2 medium sized onions, diced
5 medium carrots, cut the way you want
3 celery ribs, sliced
1 cup sushi rice or 1 cup arborio rice, must use rice that will absorb all the liquid
1 (500 g) box chicken stock
3 cups water
2 tablespoons concentrated chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • On med-high heat sauté cubes of chicken in olive oil until cooked through.
  • Add some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add veggies, herbs, and salt again for flavor and to sweat the veggies
  • Deglaze the pan if it`s sticking, with 1/2 of water or stock. Get all the bits off the bottom -- that`s flavor!
  • Add chicken stock, water, bouillion and worchestershire sauce- incorporate well.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
  • Once the carrots are tender or even 15 mins before the carrots are done, add the rice.
  • Let boil for a minute or two, then reduce the heat and cover -- keep an eye on it and stir when needed.
  • It`s ready when the liquid has been absorbed by the rice and you have a creamy consistency -- and of course when the rice is tender!LOL.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh vegetables, flavorful chicken, and a good quality broth. These fresh ingredients will make your soup that much more delicious.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many ingredients to your soup, it will become watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, and only add more when the previous batch has cooked through.
  • Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt to brighten up the flavors.
  • Let your soup simmer. The longer you simmer your soup, the more flavorful it will become. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve your soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. You can also serve your soup with a side of bread or crackers.
