Directions: |
Directions:Skin and piece the chicken (or not...just get more fat if it's not skinned, and it skims off the top of the broth easily.) Use enough water to cover the chicken. Boil chicken, remove from water and debone. (or, if desired, just use previously pressure cooked, skinned and boned shredded chicken. (I do a couple of pressure cooked chickens and just have the meat ready in the freezer and pop it in hot water and continue from there.) Add seasonings to the water to taste. (Onion may, and should be added too. I just don't list it because some people don't do well with it in the soup, but really, no soup is complete without it. I usually add a cube of Knorr vegetable boullion and it has enough of everything I need for a stronger soup.) Simmer till it really smells good, about 1/2 hr or till carrots are semi soft. Then add the rice and cook another 1/2 hr. Carrots and rice can also be added together, but the rice doesn't get as good a flavor as it does when the carrots have already contributed to the broth. |

Notes: If it comes out too strong, add water. The more that goes in, the more variety of taste. Simple seems to be better, but it IS a good way to use up leftovers and get a different soup each time. Variations can also be made using flat egg noodles, potatoes, or barley. Chicken soup of any kind is great with grilled cheese sandwiches on a cool fall or winter evening or afternoon. Great with cornbread, too.
