This One-Pot Chicken and Rice Soup is the ultimate comfort food, designed to soothe the soul and nourish the body with minimal effort and a rich, golden broth.

Ingredients

Scale

2 bone-in chicken breasts, skin removed

1 cup long-grain white rice

2 ribs celery, diced small

2 medium carrots, peeled and diced small

1 onion, diced small

2 cloves garlic, peeled but left whole

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 quarts unsalted chicken stock

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Combine the chicken, rice, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large pot. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 25 minutes, skimming any foam from the surface.

3. Remove chicken and garlic cloves. Shred the chicken (discard bones) and mash the garlic into a paste.

4. Return shredded chicken and garlic paste to the pot. Stir in lemon juice, season to taste, and serve with parsley.

Notes

Use bone-in chicken for the best broth flavor.

Leftovers keep for 7 days in the fridge; the rice will absorb more liquid over time.

Freeze for up to 3 months.
