How to Make Another Chicken Soup Recipe
- Melt margarine in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle flour over the pot and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. It will be slightly lumpy at first.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water at a time, ensuring no lumps remain. Continue whisking until smooth.
- Add the remaining water (or broth), carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Return the chicken to the pot. Cover and simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
- Remove chicken from the pot. Shred the meat and discard the bones. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
- Stir in the rice and continue to simmer for another 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot with crusty bread. For children, reduce or omit turmeric and pepper.
