CHICKEN-RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the chicken broth, celery and all but 1/2 cup carrots in a large pot. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the chicken, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cover and gently simmer, flipping the chicken once, until just cooked through, about 18 minutes. Remove the chicken to a cutting board; let cool slightly. Reserve the broth.
• Meanwhile, combine 4 cups water, the rice, tomato paste, 1 chopped tomato and the remaining 1/2 cup chopped carrots in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low; simmer, covered, until the rice and carrots are tender, 15 minutes.
• Puree the rice mixture in a blender until smooth; whisk into the pot with the broth mixture. Add the peas, heavy cream and the remaining 2 chopped tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
• Shred the chicken and return it to the soup. Stir in the parsley and lemon juice; thin with water if needed. Season with salt and pepper.

CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Season the chicken with the 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the chicken, and saute until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes on each side. Remove meat from the pan and pour off any fat left in the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the remaining butter. Add the celery, leeks, and carrots, saute for 10 minutes. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme and bay leaf with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot along with the chicken and broth. Bring the soup to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove the chicken and herb bundle. Skim any excess fat from the surface of the soup with a spoon or a ladle. When the chicken is cool enough to handle remove the meat from the bones and cut into 1-inch chunks; add the meat to the soup along with the rice. Cook until the meat and rice are heated through. Season the soup with salt and pepper and chopped parsley. Divide the soup among warm bowls and serve.

BAKED CHICKEN SOUP

• Add the shredded cooked chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian salad dressing mix; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes.
• Add the milk, lemon juice, white wine and parsley, if desired.
• Reduce heat to low, add the cooked rice and cover.
• Cook until rice is heated through.
• ENJOY!
• SOME SPECIAL NOTES:.
• I do not add veggies to this dish, because the soup at the resturant does not have any in it. However, I am sure that some added carrots or celery would be yummy. Also, double the flour and butter to make a thicker soup. We like ours less creamy. For the chicken, I either use leftover baked chicken or I buy a cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and pull all the chicken off of that. I have never tried canned chicken. If anyone uses canned, let me know how it turns out!

BAKED CHICKEN AND RICE WITH THREE SOUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine the three soups, rice and water in a casserole dish, mixing until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice.
• Sprinkle the chicken and the rice mixture with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, Thyme and paprika to taste.
• Place the pieces of butter evenly over each piece of chicken, so that each piece gets two portions of butter.
• Bake the casserole at 375 for about 25-30 minutes or until the skin on the chicken is golden brown and the rice is hot, bubbly and fully cooked.
• Serve immediately.
• This dish can also be made with whole cut-up chicken pieces (i.e. drumsticks, thighs, etc.) in lieu of only chicken breasts. I just make it this way so no one fights over the chicken breasts which they always seem to do if I do it the other way.
