Chicken & rice soup. Diced onion, carrot & celery. Sauté those in butter, add some minced garlic, 5-6 cups of chicken broth. 2-3 pounds of chicken. Chicken thighs are more tender and don’t dry out as easily. I like to put a dash of soy sauce & hot sauce. Doesn’t make it spicy just adds extra flavor. Season how you like- I use salt, pepper, and different herbs I have on hand like oregano, thyme or basil. Bring everything to a gentle boil, you don’t want to cook your chicken too fast. Cook everything 15-20 min. Cook white rice in a separate pot. I like to put my white rice in bowls and spoon the soup over it to serve. Leftovers keep better if you store the rice and soup separately.
