This Nourishing Chicken and Rice Soup perfectly fits for a chilly fall night. It is rich, flavorful, and packed with healthy vegetables. Besides, this easy chicken soup recipe is not only dairy-free, but it’s also made with wholesome brown rice, which is gluten-free and rich in antioxidants. A bit healthier yet as yummy.
This easy one-pot recipe will deliver a warming bowl of soup to your table in about 40 minutes. Start by slicing up the veggies and chopping the herbs. You will need garlic, sweet potatoes, zucchini, some ginger, and coriander. This is the most labor-intensive part of the recipe, so don’t be intimidated. Cooking the soup is as easy as putting the ingredients into a saucepan in the order listed below and simmering until the sweet potato is tender and the rice is al dente. Once removed from heat, season the soup to taste. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and enjoy!
To make the Nourishing Chicken and Rice Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large saucepan over high heat, add 3 chicken thigh fillets, 200 grams rice, 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves, 1 inch of thinly sliced ginger root, and 6 cups water and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes. Once the chicken is tender, remove from the saucepan.
Increase the heat to medium and add the sweet potato rounds. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is al dente and the sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes.
Using forks, coarsely shred the chicken.
Return the chicken to the saucepan and add the coriander stems and zucchini to the soup. Cook for 2 more minutes or until the zucchini is tender and the chicken is heated through. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
Serve garnished with coriander leaves and enjoy!
