Comforting Chicken and Rice Soup with Fresh Ginger

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced

  • 2 celery stalks, diced

  • 1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)

  • 1-pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

 

Instructions:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the onion, garlic, and fresh ginger. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

  3. Add Vegetables: Add the carrots and celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

  4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned on the outside, about 5 minutes.

  5. Add Broth and Rice: Pour in the chicken broth, and add the rice, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

  6. Simmer: Let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the chicken is tender.

  7. Finish the Soup: Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

  8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
