Dad's Chicken Soup
This isn't my dad's chicken soup recipe, it's just what it was called. I think this originally came from bon appetit. I have always made it with pasta instead of rice. The thyme in this is what makes it tasty. Prep time does not include cooking the chicken.
Steps
Bring first five ingredients to boil in heavy large pot or dutch oven over high heat.
Mix in rice and thyme.
Return soup to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer uncovered until rice is tender , stirring occasionally , about 30 minutes.
Add chicken and simmer until heated through , thinning with additional broth if desired.
Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer soup to large bowl.
Garnish with parsley and serve.
I like corkscrew pasta in this.
Ingredients
low sodium chicken broth, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, long-grain white rice, fresh thyme, cooked chicken, salt and pepper, fresh parsley
