Categories     Soup

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup wild rice blend
3/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cups chopped vegetables ((see notes for suggestions))
1 tablespoon tomato paste
15 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons Italian herb blend or Herbes de Provence
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup chopped kale
1 apple, (grated)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
fresh parsley, (minced, for garnish)

Steps:

  • bring all ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until all water is absorbed (30 to 40 minutes, depending on the brand - refer to package directions). Turn off heat, and let steam for 10 minutes
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 4 to 5 quart Dutch oven or stock pot over medium, until shimmering. Add all of the vegetables at once, and stir well. Cover, and let cook for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
  • When the vegetables have softened, scoot them to one side and tip in a splash of broth in the cleared area. Add the tomato paste, paprika, and a big pinch of salt to the broth, and stir well to create a fragrant paste.
  • Mix the tomato paste into the vegetables, and sprinkle the herbs over them.
  • Add the broth and bay leaf, and let the soup come up to a gentle boil (increase the heat temporarily, to help it along).
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let the soup simmer for at least 15 minutes (longer, if possible).
  • Remove the bay leaf, and add the kale, apple grates, lemon juice, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well, and let the kale wilt for several minutes.
  • Taste, and adjust the flavor balance with additional lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the rice. Serve immediately.

MOM'S HEARTY CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP



Mom's Hearty Chicken and Rice Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Garlic     Poultry     Rice     Kid-Friendly     Back to School     Dinner     Lunch     Spring     Healthy     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups water
2 chicken breast halves; skin and fat removed
2 whole chicken legs with thighs; skin and fat removed
3 carrots, peeled, halved crosswise
3 celery stalks, quartered crosswise
1 onion, sliced
2 teaspoons salt
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine first 9 ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken and carrots to platter; cool slightly. Pull chicken meat off bones in bite-size pieces; set aside. Discard bones. Thinly slice carrots and reserve. Strain broth; discard solids in strainer. Pour 1 1/2 cups broth into heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Add rice and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Return remaining broth, chicken pieces and sliced carrots to same large pot. Bring to simmer. Stir in cooked rice. Season soup with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, flavorful chicken broth, and tender wild rice will make all the difference in the final soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many vegetables or chicken to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and the vegetables to soften.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, and croutons.

Conclusion:

This hearty chicken, vegetable, and wild rice soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please the whole family.
