CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onions, carrots and thyme leaves, then gently fry for 15 mins.
• Stir in 1.4l chicken stock, bring to a boil, cover, then simmer for 10 mins.
• Add the leftover roast chicken, remove half the mixture, then purée with a stick blender. Tip back into the pan with the rest of the soup, the peas and seasoning, then simmer for 5 mins until hot through.
• Mix the Greek yogurt, garlic and lemon juice together. Ladle the soup into bowls, swirl in the garlic yogurt, then serve.
• If you want to use a slow cooker, gently fry the onions, carrots and thyme leaves for 15 mins, then tip them into the slow cooker with 1 litre stock. If you're using a chicken carcass, add it now. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on High until the veg is tender. If you used a carcass, remove it now, shredding any remaining chicken from the bones. Stir back into the soup, or add the leftover roast chicken and frozen peas. Cook for 30 mins more. Remove half the mixture and purée with a stick blender, then serve as above.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add garlic, carrots, and leek to pan; cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes or until vegetables are soft and aromatic. Add chicken stock to vegetables and increase heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. Add rice and reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is nearly done, about 20 minutes.
• Whisk together lemon juice and eggs in medium bowl. Slowly pour 1 cup of hot broth into egg mixture, whisking constantly, then pour egg mixture back into pan,  stirring. Add dill, spinach, chicken, and salt; allow spinach to wilt and soup to heat back up, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with black pepper, if desired. Serve.
