Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 carrots chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup quinoa/rice blend or brown rice
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the onion, lower the heat to medium low, and cook with the cover on for 3 minutes. Add the carrots and celery to the pot, and cook with the cover on for another 5 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are beginning to get tender.
- Add the chicken, broth, and rice (or rice quinoa blend) to the pot. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, or as long as it takes to cook the rice blend.
- If the soup is thicker than you prefer, add a cup or two of water to make it thinner. Also, taste the soup to see if it needs a little salt. This will depend on how much salt is in your broth.
