Chicken Rice Soup Recipe

This delicious low-fat chicken rice soup recipe full of flavor and goodness, is one of the healthiest foods you can offer your family.

ADVERTISEMENTS



What could be more homely and comforting than a delicious bowl of homemade soup?

This recipe is very simple and takes just 15 minutes to prepare. For the best results, use homemade chicken stock, which has an excellent flavor. Allow the stock to cool, then chill for several hours or overnight, then remove the layer of fat on top.

If you don't have homemade stock you can use bouillon powder or a cube instead, but this will increase the salt content of the soup.

Make sure you cut the carrots finely, otherwise they won't be cooked when the rice is tender. I use the diced meat of a cooked, skinned chicken thigh in this recipe, as the meat is very tasty when it's been cooked on the bone. You could use leftovers from a roast chicken instead, or cook a chicken leg or breast specially for the recipe.
