This recipe is awesome! I used a bit more rice than the recipe called for and to make! it had great flavor and so easy
This is a great recipe. The favor is light and good. I added 1/2 teaspoon of basil (the taste is sweeter). I made my own chicken stock (see all recipes). Because I made my own stock, I added 1 teaspoon of salt. My family loves this recipe!
GREAT recipe. I also make my own chicken broth so I added a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning. Because I was taking this to a soup & bread meal I doubled the recipe and it was perfect for feeding a crowd of hungry Lutherans! Thanks for sharing!
I've made a resolution to stop wasting so much food this year. We had chicken and rice for dinner so a quick search led me to this recipe to use the leftovers in. The soup looks and smells great and was so quick and easy to make being the chicken was pre-cooked. Some quick packaging in mason jars will make for tasty grab and go work lunches this week. Thanks for a great recipe!
Used this as the basis for a pot of "gotta use what I got in the pantry" soup for my ailing mother, who said, "We'll not be buying chicken and rice soup anymore - this is MUCH better than any can!" Not much more to say, is there? Thanks for the recipe AND for helping to make my mom feel a bit better!
I have to say that the ingredients in this recipe are so easy that I really thought that it would end up being just blah like the hundreds of other chicken soup recipes that I've tried that never taste just quite right. This was really good though, even my kids liked it which is a miracle! Nice flavor that wasn't too much of this or that and it seems to be a great base if you want to add other stuff to your preference as well. I love that it has simple pronounceable ingredients so that it can be all organic if you so choose. Thanks for sharing!
This recipe is delicious and healthy. I make my own broth boiling the chicken in water and adding onion, celery, and fresh thyme sprigs. I strain the broth for use in this soup. I added l lb. chicken (boneless breasts) and 3 cups rice because we like more of both. I used fresh bay leaves (3 instead of 1). I also added 1/2 tsp ground sea salt because I felt the flavors needed to stand out more. This is light enough for a fresh summer meal, as well as a cold winter night. Enjoy... and thanks for the recipe!!!
Quick and easy, Perfect for when everyone starts getting the colds and the weather starts to turn yucky. If you double the recipe, it feeds a family of 5 with enough for everyone to have seconds and some for lunch the next day. Very tasty!
Agree - this soup is delicious. Lots of recipes call for lemon in chicken soup, the lime was a first for me - and I loved the taste. I used a fresh lime and didn't measure, just squeezed the juice from the whole thing into the soup. Realized it provides a "salt" aspect which was good b/c I used low sodium chicken broth. It was fast to make because I used boxes of Swanson chicken broth, chicken breast strips, pre-chopped celery and onion in a container from supermarket - and 3 of those little cups of Minute Rice (2 white and one medley) - very little work other than cubing the chicken, dicing carrots and microwaving the rice and putting everything together. Cheating but it made a quick delicious meal.
Recipe as is was ok. Rice would be bland if made separately and added after. Also way too much rice. Changes - make own chicken stock and pull any extra meat off of the bones and add that to the soup as well. Cook rice in the pot instead of separately and use half as much.
