This is my husband's and my favorite chicken soup, and I love that it is healthy soup. Ingredients:
10 cups chicken broth |
1 onion, chopped |
1 cup sliced celery |
1 cup sliced carrots |
1/4 cup snipped parsley |
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves |
1 bay leaf |
3/4 pound chicken, cut into cubes |
2 cups cooked rice |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
lime for garnish |
Directions:
1. Combine chicken broth, onion, celery, carrots, parsley, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until the onion and celery begin to soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir chicken into the simmering broth; cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. Stir rice and lime juice into the broth; cook and stir just until rice is hot and grains separate, about 1 minute. Garnish with lime slices.
