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.)

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some cooked rice to the soup to make it a heartier meal.

I added some extra vegetables to the soup, such as carrots and celery, and it turned out great. I also used brown rice instead of white rice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out watery and bland. I think I might have added too much water.

I'm not a fan of the rice in this soup. I think it makes the soup too thick.
