Hearty Chicken and Rice Soup

Soup was delicious. I left out the onion, used 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley & 1 cup uncooked rice. Excited for tonight’s leftovers.

I didn't have parsley. I thought I had some dried parsley ,but nope. So I substituted dried cilantro. I personally like cilantro better than parsley anyway. I also put the rice in raw when I started cooking the broth. I figured it would cook by the time everything else was done. It is so easy, this recipe. Thanks. I think it was too much rice. I think I would use half the amount next time. I want to keep this recipe though . It is a tasty soup . The rice was completely cooked the way I made it.

Delicious!!!

I loved the consistency of this soup and it had good flavor but a bit bland. I will try adding oregano and bell pepper next time. I made some changes, one of which was to use homemade stock from the carcass of a rotisserie chicken. I did not add any boullion so that might add more flavor. I used cooked chicken, (from the Rotisserie) and 1 cup raw rice. Both worked well. I cooked for the same amount of time although I sauteed the vegetables first to soften them.

So yummy ! Perfect for cold seasons!

Tried this recipe with leftover roast chicken (white meat) and the family loved it. The herbs, seasoning, and lime juice really made this recipe stand out. I was winding down a head cold and it seemed soothing.
