What Kind Of Rice Is Best For Chicken And Rice Soup?
Rice of any variety is delicious when added to the soup. We like using jasmine rice, but this specific Demos Chicken And Rice Soup Recipe work just as well with long grain, medium grain, or short grain rice. In general, any type of white rice will do. I almost usually use long grain white rice since I keep a container of it in my pantry at all times. For wild rice, we suggest trying this soup that is a replica of the one served at Panera.
Ingredients That You’ll Need:
- Chicken – There are several ways to make this Demos Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe, but you can also use some rotisserie or roast chicken to save time.
- Rice – White long-grain rice that has not been cooked.
- Vegetables – sweet onion, carrots, and garlic.
- Seasoning – salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, dried thyme, fresh parsley
- Chicken broth – I find that using chicken broth with a lower sodium content gives me a better handle on the overall saltiness of the soup.
- Lemon juice – The Demos Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe is elevated in terms of both flavor and brightness as a result of this. Don’t skip it!
- Olive oil – To sauté the veggies, use extra virgin olive oil.
Do You Cook Rice Before Adding To The Chicken And Rice Soup?
In order to make this Demos Chicken And Rice Soup Recipe work, you can choose to add cooked rice at the end; however, we find that using raw rice gives the soup a deeper taste because it is better able to absorb the flavors of the broth. Plus, one less pot to use!
How To Make Demos Chicken And Rice Soup
- Warm the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook for approximately 4 minutes, or until the onion and carrots are cooked. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the garlic is aromatic.
- Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Bring to a boil with the chicken broth. Reduce the heat to a slow simmer and cook for 20-22 minutes, or until the rice has plumped up and is tender. (It will appear to be the tiniest piece of rice, but it will absorb the liquid and expand significantly!)
- Combine the lemon juice and parsley in a mixing bowl. Then add the chicken.
- If preferred, season with a few additional grinds of salt and pepper. As the soup settles and cools, the rice will continue to plump up.
- Serve with crusty bread in bowls and enjoy!
