Chicken Rice Soup for the Soul
What's better then some chick soup this time of year as the weather gets colder and the sun sets earlier?
Start with a whole chicken and peel all the skin off.
The place in a large pot with water and boil.
While the chicken is boiling, I dice some carrots, onions and celery.
The first boil produces a lot of this white foam which I dump. I think this is an important step my mom always does with any chicken soup.
The species I use are garlic salt, adobe and bay leaves.
I put the chicken back in the pot with new water and all the veggies along with spices and bring to a boil again before simmering for an hour.
After that, add a cup of rice and cook for another 30 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked, I remove the chicken from the soup. You may also need to add some boiling water as the rice soaks up a lot of the liquids.
After everything is tender, I cut the chicken into little cubes before adding it back into the pot.
And that's it! Hearty soup to warm those wear bones!
