Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
5 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup white rice
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken broth, celery and all but 1/2 cup carrots in a large pot. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the chicken, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cover and gently simmer, flipping the chicken once, until just cooked through, about 18 minutes. Remove the chicken to a cutting board; let cool slightly. Reserve the broth.
  • Meanwhile, combine 4 cups water, the rice, tomato paste, 1 chopped tomato and the remaining 1/2 cup chopped carrots in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low; simmer, covered, until the rice and carrots are tender, 15 minutes.
  • Puree the rice mixture in a blender until smooth; whisk into the pot with the broth mixture. Add the peas, heavy cream and the remaining 2 chopped tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  • Shred the chicken and return it to the soup. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice; thin with water if needed. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your soup will taste. Choose organic, free-range chicken and fresh vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, the soup will be watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, and cook them until they are tender before adding more.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of plain yogurt for extra flavor.
  • Let the soup simmer for a while: The longer the soup simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread, crackers, or rice. You can also add a dollop of plain yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.
