This is my best soup for sick kids. Amy Koch gave me the recipe after she brought it to a Koch family function. It is healthy and my picky kids eat it when they are feeling well or sick!
CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP
10 cups chicken broth
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
½ cup sliced celery
1 ½ cup sliced carrots
¼ cup snipped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
1 bay leaf
2 cups cooked chicken
3 cups cooked rice
2 Tablespoons lime juice
Optional: lime slices for garnish
Combine vegetables and seasonings (except parsley) with olive oil in a pot over the stove. Simmer and slowly add broth until vegetables are tender. Boil over high heat, stirring regularly. Reduce heat and add chicken, rice, parsley, and lime juice. Discard bay leaf and enjoy!
By the way, in recipes that call for cooked chicken, I have found that I prefer to stick frozen chicken in the crock pot in the morning. It cooks with a delicious flavor and is still moist and shreds or chops easily. Plus it is no trouble at all. This recipe is good with chicken breasts or dark meat or a mix.
