Chicken and Rice Soup

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 11:32:32 GMT

Step 1

Before you start the soup precook your chicken, I used the breast of a whole chicken as I was making another recipe with chicken that week, but you can use chicken breast/thighs it’s totally optional. Top tip, keep any chicken juices and add into your soup.

Step 2

I decided to add some roasted garlic this time for a more mellow flavour, I prepped this before I started the soup. Slice the top off the garlic, add some oil on top, wrap in foil and then pop into the oven or air fryer and roast for 35-40 minutes.

Step 3

Whilst your chicken and garlic is cooking prep your veg. Peel and diced the carrot then dice the celery and onion.

Step 4

Add the carrot and celery into a pot with any chicken juices and cook until they’ve softened a little. Add in the onion and cook until softened.

Step 5

Pop your stock pots into approximately 1.5 litres of boiling water, mix well and then add to the pot. Add in the roasted garlic and parsley at this stage too, mix well and then let the veg simmer for around 15 minutes.

Step 6

Wash your rice and then add this to the pot and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Give the broth a taste and add in any salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Shred the cooked chicken then add into the soup and let it simmer away for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve with you favourite bread and enjoy!
