Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 250 grams mushrooms, brown or white button, sliced, (8 oz)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, and as needed
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon ground sage
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups chicken broth, I used OXO cubes
  • 3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
  • ¾ cup dry Jasmine rice

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, melt the butter, when hot, add the onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms. Stir oftern and cook until the onion softens. (I used Shiitake mushrooms - stems removed, and did not have celery on hand so just skipped that.)
  • Stir in the garlic, salt, parsley, thyme, sage, and pepper. Cook for just a minute or two until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the chicken breasts, rice, and broth. Stir together and heat to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Then remove the chicken to a cutting board and chop, and set aside. Let to soup continue to simmer.
  • When the rice is tender, about 10-15 minutes after you took the chicken out, return the chicken to the chicken to the pot and simmer for another 5-10 minutes to heat the chicken through. Taste and add salt as desired.
  • Ladle into bowls, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

Low cost per serving.
Variants: 1. Use Shiitake mushrooms with stems removed, and sliced in place of button mushrooms. 2. Use Straw mushrooms sliced in half in place of button mushrooms.
