Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty Chicken Rice Soup.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with 4 cups of water and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, gently add in the chicken breast, along with the sliced leek, chopped onion, sliced carrot, and sliced celery.
Step 3
Toss in the chicken bouillon cubes, a sprinkle of ground thyme, a dash of poultry seasoning, and a few cracks of black pepper to elevate the flavors.
Step 4
Now, reduce the heat and let everything simmer together for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 5
When the chicken is ready, carefully lift it out of the pot and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6
Return the shredded chicken to the pot, and pour in 4 cups of reduced-sodium chicken broth along with 1/2 cup of white rice.
Step 7
Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is perfectly tender and has absorbed all those delicious flavors.
Step 8
Enjoy the comforting aroma as your kitchen fills with the scent of this hearty dish!.
