How to Make Basic Chicken And Rice Soup
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped celery and 1/2 cup chopped onion; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 8 cups chicken broth, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken from pot and let cool slightly. Shred chicken and set aside. Strain the broth to remove any solids.
- Return the broth to the pot. Add 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and the shredded chicken.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender.
- Season to taste with additional salt and pepper before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
