Chicken Rice Soup
Sounds easy, and good, and turkey would be a great choice as well if you can find local raised turkeys, they are here! This makes a lot of soup. On my to cook list. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo cooked shredded chicken, roasted or boiled chicken, OR turkey
- 3-4 carrots, sliced
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 8 cups water
- 1 tablespoon powdered chicken stock
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, OR make from a shortcut
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2-3 cups uncooked rice
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, add the water, rice, veggies, and stock powder, for 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked. Add the turkey (or chicken), the soup, basil, and pepper to your liking then brink to a boil again, then simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve.
Notes
Chicken will cost between 67 and 84 Baht/kilo (breasts, thighs). No idea on the cost of turkey yet. I have found a source for local raised, free range turkeys, cost coming soon. Make the condensed soup your self for great savings on that. I will estimate this using thighs at 84 Baht/kilo and 6 servings. This is about 42 cents per serving. Excellent value.
If you are going to boil the chicken and not use roasted, boil the chicken with the rice and veggies, skin on and bone if possible, and omit the powdered stock. When the chicken is cooked through, remove from the water, shred and return to the pot. Easy!
