Chicken Soup and Rice image

This is a really quick version of chicken soup made to mimic a traditional long-simmered soup. Time permitting, the latter is better. But, with a few basic pantry items, you can prepare this version in about 10 minutes. Served with salad and toast, it also makes a great lunch. From the book"Mad Hungry," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Artisan Books).

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 scallions (both white and green parts), thinly sliced
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 quart (4 cups) homemade chicken broth or best-quality store-bought chicken broth
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken meat (leftover or 1 chicken breast half, sauteed or steamed)
1/2 cup cooked rice
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a medium-sized soup pot over medium heat and swirl in the olive oil and butter. Saute the scallions, carrot, and parsley for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and simmer until the carrot is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and rice. Heat through completely, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of chicken soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The broth is so flavorful and the chicken is so tender. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little bit more salt and pepper.

This soup was a disappointment. The broth was bland and the chicken was dry. I won't be making this recipe again.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. The broth is flavorful and the chicken is tender. I like to add a little bit of extra vegetables, like carrots and celery.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make! I love that I can just throw everything in the pot and let it simmer. It's perfect for a weeknight meal.

This chicken soup and rice recipe is a lifesaver! I'm a busy mom of three and I always have a hard time getting a healthy meal on the table. But this soup is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my kids.
