Chicken and Rice Soup
Recipe video above. You don't need to manhandle a whole chicken to make a beautiful flavour infused, golden, savoury broth. Use chicken pieces instead - it's so much faster and the broth is absolutely incredible! Better flavour that using breast or rotisserie chicken. Inactive simmer time:

- 3 carrots (, halved then cut into 1cm / 2/5" slices (quarter if really thick))
- 3 celery ribs (, cut into 1 cm / 2/5" slices)
- 3 tsp Vegeta stock powder (, or 2 x vegetable or chicken bouillon cube, or 2 tsp powder (Note 2))
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme, optional
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (, finely ground)
- 4 cups (1 litre) chicken broth (, low sodium)
- 4 cups (1 litre) water
- 600 g (1.2 lb) bone in (, skinless chicken thighs, 4 x 150g/5oz (Note 1))

Steps
-
Place oil and butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 5 minutes until onion is translucent.
-
Add carrots and celery, stir for 1 minute.
-
Add stock powder, dried parsley, thyme (if using), pepper, chicken broth, water. Stir, then add chicken.
-
Cover with lid, simmer on medium low for 30 minutes. Adjust heat so it's bubbling a nice amount, but not crazy energetically or super slowly. Skim off excess foam build up once or twice (not critical, just makes broth clearer).
-
Remove lid, add rice. Stir, cover, simmer 15 minutes.
