    This one-pot chicken and rice soup is healthy, creamy, and loaded with chicken, veggies, mushrooms, and rice. It is so simple and delicious that all your family will love it. 

    This chicken and rice soup is one of my favourite soup recipes ever. I use carrots, onions, and garlic in this recipe, but you can add any veggies you want such as: sweetcorn, peas, or kale.

    How to make this Chicken and rice soup?

    steps of making this recipe

    Heat some oil in a pot, add the chicken, and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and ginger, cook for 2 minutes.

    Top Tips:

    Watch out while the rice is cooking because you may need to add some water.

    Don't skip adding the lemon zest; it really adds a nice flavour to this dish.

    Seasonings: I use thyme, ginger, and lemon zest, which add a lovely flavour to this dish along with salt and pepper. However, rosemary, sage, oregano, or dill can be an excellent alternative to thyme.

    What kind of rice to use in making this recipe?

    I prefer using long-grain white rice or basmati in this recipe. However, if you like to use brown rice, the rice will take more time to fully cooked.

    Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

    Yes, you can, both chicken thighs and breasts will go well in this recipe.
