Chicken, Rice, and Vegetable Soup

So good!!! My daughter and I loved this soup recipe!! I added some frozen peas and fresh lemon juice with zest for a lemony chicken flavor but otherwise followed recipe exactly! Thanks for sharing! Will be making again!

Easy quick recipe. Added bay leaf and thyme as others suggested. Thanks, all:)

I’ve made this a few times now and it turns out perfect every time! Great flavor !

I’ve been practically knocked off my feet with the flu. So, I needed the known benefits of chicken noodle soup. I didn’t have noodles on hand, so did a search for chicken and rice soup and found this basic recipe. I read down through the reviews, looking for seasonings suggestions. As always, I found some interesting tweaks. I used two boxes of reduced sodium chicken broth, and: 1 tsp. Thyme, 2 bay leaves, 1 tsp. Basil. I used canned corn plus juice, which is where the vitamins are floating around. Added 1 can peas, juice and all. (I use juice from canned veggies in place of water.) I added some frozen peas and corn for texture. Just smelling the soup as it was simmering soothed my aching muscles. After one bowl of chicken and rice soup, I’m feeling better! This is a great basic recipe!

Easy to prepare. Common ingredients. Great with crusty bread and block of cheese.

A good, basic, chicken soup. It does have a lot of sweetness from the carrots, so I would cut back on the carrots next time. To season at the end, I used a garlic salt blend with parsley instead of regular salt to add extra flavor. I would also use all chicken broth next time instead of using a mix of chicken broth plus water and chicken bouillon.

This recipe was great! Easy, peasy! Quick question, I neglected to measure how many cups of soup it made. Recipe indicates 4 servings.. can anyone tell me how many cups in a serving so I can determine calorie count?

This soup was very satisfying. I added a bag of butter peas to this and used frozen vegetables (carrots, green beans, English peas, and corn) instead of onions. I served this with hoe cakes and it made for a delicious and filling meal.

Thought the soup was really good. I did make some changes. I sauteed the onion, celery & carrots first until tender. Then added the rice (not quite twice the rice). I used 6 cups chicken broth & 2 cups of water. I was out of chicken bouillon so added 2 beef cubes. The beef cubes change the color a bit but still yummy. Also added and additional chicken breast. I like the soup the way I made it. It has a lot of flavor.

This was really good and fast for a bad old rainy day. Took 3 chicken breasts out of the freezer and cooked them whole in 6 cups of water, along wih 2 bouillon cubes. No chicken broth in the house. Once done, took the chicken out and added 1/2 tsp of thyme, sage, salt, pepper, a bay leaf, and 4 more bouillon cubes. Added the carrots, celery and onions. Let that cook a while until soft then dumped in some leftover white rice. Once that was warm, diced up the cooked chicken and added that back. Served with Mayonnaise Biscuits from this site. I love to make soup, it’s very forgiving and flexible!

Yummy! Used two chicken breasts and condensed chicken soap.

I liked it but thought it was a little bland. I also thought the veggies got way too mushy by the time the rice was tender. Second time I made it I made a few changes. I added the rice at the start of cooking. I like some spice in my soup so I added some cumin, coriander and thyme, just my personal preference.

This soup was perfect. My neighbor is ill and I made this to tempt her appetite. She loved it and so did I!

I think this is a great basic recipe. As many others suggested I added an extra chicken bouillon cube and added some thyme & parsley. I also put a little butter in the sauce pan and added some garlic then sautéed the vegetables for a few minute before adding the other ingredients. I doubled the rice to make it heartier. Beware it is a LOT heartier if you double. Overall very good especially if you have the flu and want a traditional type broth soup.

Excellent recipe. I made it exactly as written the first time, and the second I added a little more chicken and rice with a little extra spices. My hubby who isn’t crazy about soups, really likes this recipe. It’s wonderful on cold rainy night, and you can easily do it in your crockpot, too! Thanks for this delicious recipe!

Easy and delicious. I will definitely make it again. Like other reviewers said, I cooked the chicken before putting it into the soup. Both my kids said it was very good too!! We all had colds when I made it, and it cheered us all up a bit! 🙂

Very easy to make. I followed the recipe and added mushrooms. Next time I’ll double the rice. Very tasty.

This is great soup! I made it while recovering from the flu, and it hits all the right notes. I wanted something a little different than chicken noodle soup, and this is it. The rice adds a nice texture to it, and the veggies are perfectly soft. For flavor, I added a touch of dried oregano, dried thyme, and 2 shakes of poultry seasoning (since I had it!) and it has a little more kick. A solid soup, definitely saving in my favorites! Also – I thought 1/3 cup rice wouldn’t be enough, but I restrained myself and it really is the perfect amount. Don’t overdo it!

I added the veggies as suggested by another reviewer and it was awesome

My family loves this soup. The first time I added too much rice, despite the warning not too. Next time I added just what the recipe called for and it was better without so much mush. We’ll be having this.

Added Barley and poultry season..Delish
