There’s nothing better than a bowl of chicken soup on a cold winter day.
With flu season in full swing, everywhere I turn I am seeing people complaining about being sick. Sick kids, sick hubby, sick themselves. When a cold or flu hits your home, chicken soup is always to the rescue.
But don’t wait for your house to turn into a hospital ward to enjoy this soup. Heck, if we did, we’d never get to have it! Thankfully our family has been blessed with pretty steadfast immune systems (knock on wood.) So we get to enjoy this soup simply because we love it.
Here’s the recipe!
Chicken and Rice Soup
There's nothing better than a bowl of chicken soup on a cold winter day.
Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 1/2 Tb soy sauce
- 1 tsp fresh grated ginger, or 1/2 tsp dry ground ginger
- ½ tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/16 tsp tumeric
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 c frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 c uncooked long grain rice
Instructions
- To begin, combine all of the ingredients except the chicken breasts, frozen mixed vegetables and the rice in a Dutch oven.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, and place the chicken in the liquid.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Sounds great but an awful lot of sodium. I search for no salt broth and use that.
Am anxious to try it.
