Best 6 Chicken Risotto Soup Recipes

CHICKEN RISOTTO SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat large saucepan on medium-high 2-3 minutes; place olive oil in pan; swirl to coat; add onions, bell pepper, celery, mushrooms and pepper. Crush garlic into pan using garlic press. Use knife to remove garlic from bottom of press. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables begin to brown. Meanwhile, chop spinach coarsely.
• Stir in rice and spinach; cook 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until spinach wilts. Stir in broth, half-and-half, and wine (in that order); bring to boil.
• Reduce to medium and cook 15-17 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender. Meanwhile, cut chicken into bite-size pieces; set aside.
• Combine water and cornstarch in small bowl until well blended. Stir chicken into soup. Slowly add cornstarch mixture, stirring continuously, until blended and soup begins to thicken. Cook 2-3 more minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat chicken and blend flavors. Serve.

CHICKEN RISOTTO (WITH VEGETABLES)

Steps:

• Heat the chicken stock, and keep warm.
• Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook until clear.
• Add in the diced chicken and fry until the outside is just white (not fully cooked).
• Add bell pepper and zucchini to the chicken and cook an additional 3-4 minutes
• Add the rice. Stir to coat fully in butter/oil
• Add the hot chicken stock in - 1 ladle at a time - to the chicken and rice mixture, stirring often. Add more as the stock is absorbed.
• Repeat this until you have used almost all of the stock- it should take about 17-25 minutes.
• Continue until rice is fully cooked and the dish is creamy.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese and black pepper.

THE BEST RISOTTO

Steps:

• Warm the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cover and keep warm while you make the risotto.
• Heat the olive oil in another medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the bay leaves and 3 tablespoons butter, stirring until the butter has melted, about 1 minute.
• Add the rice and toast, stirring only once, until it smells nutty and starts to turn light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring occasionally, until it has evaporated completely, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Ladle one cup of the warm stock into the rice and cook, stirring gently without stopping, until the rice has absorbed the liquid, 2 to 3 minutes (you will know it's time to add more stock when you move the rice aside and no liquid pools in the center).
• Repeat this process, adding more stock a ladleful at a time, until the rice is al dente, 17 to 19 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. (You may have a little stock left over. If so, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.) If you prefer your risotto on the saucier side, add more stock 1/4 cup at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
• Stir in the Parmesan, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper and serve with more Parmesan, if desired.
