Chicken and Rice Soup
When the weather drops and/or you’re craving soup, nothing satisfies quite like chicken and rice soup. Ready in 30 minutes (or less), you’ll definitely want to make this one again and again.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 stalks celery chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 cup chopped leeks or onions
- 1/2 tsp garlic minced (1 clove)
- 8-10 cups of water
- 1-2 tsp salt
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3/4 cups uncooked rice
- optional: green onions for garnishing
Instructions:
- Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add in celery and leeks and sauté for 5 minutes or until beginning to soften. Add in garlic and sauté for another minute more.
- Add in water, salt, and chicken and bring to a boil. Add in rice and reduce heat to low, allowing the rice to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until rice is fully cooked.
- Remove chicken from the pot and shred. Return to the soup and adjust seasoning (salt!) to taste.
- Garnish with green onions if you like it like that.
