Homemade Chicken Soup With Rice
I usually make chicken soup, the very old-fashioned way…by cooking up a whole chicken or 2 whole chicken thighs, bones in for about 30-40 minutes, then removing the bones and shredding the chicken with the original shredder – my hands. This loong process results in the best ever chicken soup. And if you have more time, you can surely invest those 60 minutes and do it.
But if you don’t – buy skinless, boneless chicken thighs and use those instead. Now, I did this the very lazy way, which is to simply chop the chicken and cook it in the pot. Another option would be to again, cook the chicken first, it would take 20 minutes and then shred it using your hands or a fork. This option is way easier and faster than the one using a whole chicken or chicken thighs with the bones in.
This recipe will also work with leftover shredded chicken – like for example rotisserie chicken. Take the skin off, the meat off the bone and into the pot. From there add the rice and the rest of the ingredients.
