Chicken Soup With Rice

Today, Dave had a little extra time for lunch, so he made us some of his wonderful chicken with rice soup. It was so delicious. I'm not much of a cook, but I'm going to try to tell how he makes it.

Chicken Soup With Rice

This recipe make a three quart pan of soup. Start with two quarts of chicken broth (Dave made this broth himself when Kroger put their bags of leg quarters on sale. Store bought broth will also work). Add a chopped onion, a chopped carrot, and two chopped celery stalks along with your chicken (Dave used three leg quarters worth of chicken meat. You can use more or less according to your preference). Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook for 30 minutes or until veggies are tender. Add about a half cup of rice, return to a boil, then cook until rice is tender. If you keep a container of precooked rice in the fridge, you can use it instead. Just add it at the end and heat through.

Well that's Dave's recipe for homemade chicken soup with rice. We'll be having it again before long, because Dave used a whole cup of rice, which turned out to be too much. With water added, we have enough left over to make another whole pot. Yummy!
