Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1/4 cup olive oil
  2. 1 medium onion, diced
  3. 1 large leek (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  4. 3 large carrots, thinly sliced
  5. 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  6. 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  7. 4 cups chicken broth
  8. 1 cup water
  9. 1 cup brown rice
  10. 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  11. 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  12. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  13. Salt to taste
  14. Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  • Sauté the Vegetables:
    Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, leek, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables soften.

  • Brown the Chicken:
    Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.

  • Add the Remaining Ingredients:
    Stir in the chicken broth, water, brown rice, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, and salt. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

  • Simmer and Serve:
    Remove from heat and let the soup sit for 5-10 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.

Notes

  • You can substitute the chicken breasts with thighs for a richer flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and add extra vegetables or tofu.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can use less water or add more rice.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal.
