directions

  • In a medium pot, combine the water and broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Add chicken, carrot, celery, and rice. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until chicken is cooked, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove chicken; transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Reduce heat to low; simmer until rice is tender, about 10-12 minutes. While the soup is cooking, dice chicken; set aside.
  • Add mushrooms and peas to the soup; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Stir in chicken, parsley, and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately.
  • Variation: Substitute 8-ounces of lean ground beef for the chicken. Preheat the oven to 350. Shape the beef into small meatballs, place on a nonstick baking sheet, and bake until browned, about 10 minutes. Proceed as directed for the chicken in step 3.
  • Note: This doesn't say to use this in the directions but it does say when to add this in the how to make it section. (To make a bouquet garni, place a piece of carrot, 1 bay leaf, 1 parsley sprig, 1 thyme sprig, and some peppercorns on a cheesecloth square. Gather the corners of the cheesecloth and tie with string, making a pouch. Place in a pot with water and broth as directed in step 1. Remove before serving.).

<p>Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown <br /><br />Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown <br /><br />I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home &amp; community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School&nbsp;District and YWCA. I'm raising my&nbsp;8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have&nbsp;1 cats Samantha and&nbsp;1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost&nbsp;four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September&nbsp;2011. I'm recently&nbsp;married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece&nbsp;9 yrs old and my newphews&nbsp;7 &amp;&nbsp;8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p> 8724441"
