Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, leek, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  • 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, 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 use quinoa or another grain as a substitute for brown rice.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of it to add creaminess.
  • This soup is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
