Use plenty of lime, raw onion and cilantro! You could use vegetable stock here if you prefer (instead of the chicken stock). This is from Mark Bittman's book, :"The Best Recipes in the World."

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1/4 cup long-grain rice
salt and pepper
1 cup diced fresh tomato
1/2 cup minced onion, preferably white
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (or to taste)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (or more to taste)
minced jalapeno (or other chiles, to taste and optional)

Steps:

  • Put stock in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over med-high heat. Add rice, some salt and pepper; lower heat so that it just bubbles. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine vegetables with chicken, lime juice, cilantro and chiles (if using). Put in the bottom of one large bowl or 4 small ones.
  • When the soup is ready, ladle it over the stuff in the bowls. Taste; adjust seasoning if necessary.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the rice and chicken, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I was a little hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. But I was pleasantly surprised by how mild it was. The chipotle peppers add a nice smoky flavor without being too spicy.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make this soup during the week.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the pot in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.
