Tarragon Chicken and Rice Soup image

When I make this soup, I always get rave reviews. The tarragon gives it a special taste. Tastes great the next day for leftovers! To be honest I don't measure the ingredients when I make this recipe, so this is my best guess at how much of each I use. This makes a very thick soup, with a bite of something in every spoonful. If too thick, add more water or chicken broth.

Time 55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups water, or as needed
1 tablespoon chicken soup base, or to taste
1 tablespoon dried tarragon
2 teaspoons dried basil
ground black pepper to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup long grain white rice
1 onion, diced
6 carrots, diced
6 stalks celery, diced
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic

Steps:

  • Fill a Dutch oven or stockpot about 3/4 full with water; mix chicken base, tarragon, basil, and black pepper into water and bring to a boil. Cook chicken in the boiling broth mixture until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken from broth, leaving broth in Dutch oven to simmer. Dice chicken and add it back to the simmering broth.
  • Mix rice, onion, carrot, celery, and garlic into simmering broth; cook until rice is tender and soup is thickened, 25 to 30 minutes. Add more water if needed.

The soup was okay, but I wouldn't make it again. I found the flavor to be a bit too one-dimensional.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more herbs and spices.
