In this post I’ll be sharing a delicious Chicken & Rice Soup Recipe.

Soups are comforting and hearty and we love them in the cooler months of winter. Soups are also generally simple to make. This Chicken & Rice Soup is easy to make and delicious. You can enjoy the leftovers or freeze them for easy go to meals.

Homemade soup recipes are great for family meals and budget friendly too. A soup recipe can be adjusted to use whatever ingredients that you have on hand and you can stretch them out. Often soups provide leftovers and you get more than one meal.

Olive Oil
Butter

fresh Thyme
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
Poultry Seasoning
Onion Powder
Dried Parsley Flakes, use fresh if you have it on hand

2 boneless, skinless Chicken Breast pieces
3 cups of Rice, I used white but wild or brown rice would work fine too

Easy Homemade Soup Recipe

{Tip: Place a wet paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from sliding on counter tops}

In a small pot, cover the chicken with water and boil until done. Remove from water and allow to cool to safely handle cutting up later.

In a large stock pot or dutch oven, add olive oil and butter. Heat over medium high heat until butter is melted. Add cut vegetables and seasonings. Remove the leaves from 1 sprig of thyme and add to the pot. Saute the vegetables until celery and onions begin to turn translucent, about 15 minutes.

Add chicken stock to vegetables and bring to a simmer. Simmer 20 minutes.

Cube chicken, or shred if you prefer, and add to the pot with vegetables and stock. Add water and bring back to a simmer. Add rice and stir to combine. Simmer for 20 minutes until rice is fully cooked.
