How to make chicken and brown rice soup

October 23, 2016 By Michelle Rogers

Chicken & Brown Rice Soup recipe - Michelle Rogers Healthy LIving

The cool, crisp days of fall are here — which always makes me crave a bowl of hot, delicious homemade soup.

As I’ve mentioned before, soup is one of my favorite things to make, especially on a weekend. A big pot of soup made on Sunday will give our busy family several meals for the week. Pair it with a biscuit or muffin, or a grilled sandwich, for a quick, nutritious weeknight dinner.

And, if anyone in your family is getting sick, as tends to happen this time of year, grandma was right: chicken soup is good for whatever ails you!

For years, I made this with noodles but since I’ve cut out wheat for the most part this year, my new version features brown rice instead. This is also a great dish to make when you have leftover rotisserie meat to use up.

Whether coming home on a cold day, or fighting off a bug, there’s nothing better than chicken soup. Give this easy recipe a try!

Ingredients:

  • 12 cups chicken broth (three 32 oz. boxes)

    Be sure to use a good quality, heavy pot, such as this highly-rated one available on Amazon. Click to view.

  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 lb. chicken, cut into cubes
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • Salt, to taste (I don’t add additional salt, if using prepared broth or bouillon)

Directions:

  • Combine chicken broth, onion, celery, carrots, parsley, pepper and bay leaf in a large pot; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low; simmer until the onion and celery are cooked, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add chicken; cook until it is no longer pink in the middle, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir rice into the broth.

Note: If using leftover cooked chicken, add it last with the rice.
