Chicken and Rice Soup Recipes

Total Time: 1 + hours

Yield: 6-8

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken tenderloins
• 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 carrots, finely chopped
• 1 cup green beans, roughly chopped
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 cups chicken broth
• salt, pepper and Italian seasoning, to taste
• 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups cooked long grain rice

I would have added celery if I had any on hand. Other good additions would have been mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, parsley or any fresh herbs.

Steps:

1. Heat a heavy bottomed pot on medium and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. When the oil is heated, add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. It doesn't need to be fully cooked as it will simmer in the soup.
2. Remove chicken from pan, cover and set aside. Add 1 Tbsp. oil to pan.
3. When the oil is heated, add the onions and cook until just softened, 2-3 minutes
4. Add vegetables. Sauté briefly after adding the next ingredient; garlic, carrots, green beans.

5. Add chicken broth and seasonings. Bring to just a boil and reduce heat to low.

I used a package of chicken tenderloins for this soup but I would have rather used a rotisserie chicken. Remove the meat, cook the bones down into broth and simmer
