Well my husband thinks it's good.
I change the basic recipe depending on what I have on hand.
6 cups chicken broth...I use bouillon cubes and water
4 chopped carrots
3 celery stalks chopped
1/2 bag chopped spinach
@ 1 pound of raw chicken in chunks(my husband likes big chunks of chicken)
1 cup Instant brown rice(he never even notices
)
Put the water and bouillon cubes into a big pot. Turn on medium high while you are slicing. Add the carrots, chicken, and celery. Don't boil. About 20 minutes later add the rice, bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer. Add the spinach when the rice is almost done.
Sometimes I add cabbage and/or a can of beans. I've also added a can or 2 of stewed or diced tomatoes. It's a very flexible recipe.
My husband likes this soup more like a stew so I all the veggies and the meat are a good size. The cooking time will vary slightly depending on how small or big you chop things.
Experiment and have fun. There are no limitations to this kind of soup except the size of your pot
If the soup is too thick add more broth. If iit's too watery add more rice or vegggies.
