\"\"<\/a>I wanted to make a chicken and rice soup so I could freeze it for lunches over the next month. I’m a little bit hesitant to make a huge batch without having tried the recipe before.. and I just couldn’t find a recipe I liked.. so I figured F*it, I’ll make up my own \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Features I wanted: I want to cook the rice in chicken broth. I want to use already pre-cooked chicken. I want to add tumeric and.. some green spice.<\/p>\n

I don’t want the veggies to disintegrate into the soup.<\/p>\n

Chosen method: Brown\/soften veggies in a butter\/olive oil. Cook rice in broth in a separate pan. Add more broth\/veggies\/shredded chicken to rice\/broth. Warm to serve. Cool and then freeze.<\/p>\n

I ended up with something tasty.. but not as tasty as I’d like. I think it needs more salt and pepper. Add to that, after I let it cool the rice soaked up nearly all of the broth.. so I now have a very nice chicken rice pilaf. My plan is to add 3 more cups of broth to what I have so that it’s jucier when I freeze it.<\/p>\n

In the recipe below I’ve already added the 3 more cups of broth.. so it should be plenty soup-y the next time I make it.<\/p>\n

Oh, at the proportions below, this only barely fit in my biggest pan. Cooking it with 3 more cups of broth will need to be done in one of my big soup pans.<\/p>\n

Chicken with wild and brown rice soup<\/h1>\n

2 Tbsp butter or olive oil
\n3 ribs celery, diced
\n3 medium carrots, diced
\n2-3 leeks (trimmed to only white parts), diced
\n1 med\/large onion, diced
\n1\/2 tsp tumeric
\n1\/2 tsp dried thyme<\/p>\n

2.5 cup brown\/wild rice (I found a pre-package of brown\/wild rice)
\n2 Tbsp butter
\n9 cups chicken broth\/stock, separated<\/p>\n

1 whole roasted chicken (I used rotisserie chicken from the grocery store), deboned
\nsea salt, to taste
\nground pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

De-bone the chicken. Discard bones\/skin\/fat. Cut the meat into small dice. Set aside.
\nCook rice using broth instead of water (I used 1 package of brown\/wild rice cooked in 5 cups broth with 2 Tbsp butter). Set aside.
\nMelt 2 Tbsp butter and brown\/soften veggies in butter (~5 mins). Add turmeric and thyme and cook for an additional 1 minute. Combine remaining broth, veggies, chicken, and rice. Cook until all ingredients are warm. Salt\/pepper to taste.<\/p>\n

This soup may be frozen in individual portions.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
