A comforting chicken and mushroom soup that’s easy to make with everyday ingredients, perfect for a family meal or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 1 cup rice (white or brown)
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Herbs (like thyme or parsley) for seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the diced chicken breast to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are lightly browned on the outside (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook for 4–6 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Pour in 6 cups chicken broth and bring the soup up to a boil.
  5. Add 1 cup rice and your herbs. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 18–20 minutes for white rice, or 35–40 minutes for brown rice. Check rice for tenderness.
  6. Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot with extra herbs on top.

Notes

For a creamy version, stir in 1/2 cup cream at the end. This recipe is adaptable for gluten-free by using gluten-free broth.
