Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup

Fantastic soup, I have made it a couple of times now. My husband says it's the best soup ever 

One of the Nicest soups i have had in along time!  Was a little scared to make the Chicken Stock paste to use in it, but very easy and totally worth it.  My 10 year old has asked when am I next making it as she loved it.  Thank you Quirky Cooking for this recipe

Excellent! I only had about 150g chicken so added some extra veggies, and used vegetable stock! Really creamy and delicious! This one's a keeper!

I just used store bought liquid chicken stock when I was short of time. Didn't bother with the 'homemade' stock and it was still yummy. My mother (who is fussy) said it was the tastiest soup she has ever had!

Use Vegie Stock Paste and replace water with ''Chicken Stock" (stripped cooked whole chook - in basket with onion garlic herbs, 1lt water, 20mins, varoma, spd 4 - use in this recipe + risottos).

Steam the vegies and sometimes add corn.

Thank you so much! It was yummy with the veggie stock and has frozen really well! I just added about 15 mins to the cooking time because the rice was a little crunchy still! But I didn't soak the rice beforehand either! I just add a touch of water when reaheating thanks for the tip! Thanks again for a fabulous recipe!

Yummo and I'm not even a it soup fan thanks 

Hi, we tried this last night and there is a bit of effort to get the stock together but felt it was important. But it was far, far too salty for us and therefore not edible. The rice was also still crunchy. Will try again with half the stock and cook for longer for the rice to cook. Damn, was so looking forward to a hearty meal. 

Yes you can use the vege stock paste, and yes you can freeze it - although it may need extra water when you thaw it out.

Hi, sorry I missed your message! Yes, just use all rice instead of the almonds. I use brown rice both for grinding up for flour, an for the rice in the recipe.

Hi all, this recipe sounds delicious! I can't wait to try it. I'm thinking of making it for lunches during the week! Can you just use the EDC veggie stock paste instead of the chicken stock paste, or is it a must? Thanks! Deanna

Fabulous, thanks.

I love this soup but my kids aren't keen. Would it freeze ok? 

Hi, so if we have a nut allergy we can leave out the almonds and substitute with 100g ground rice and 100g whole rice. Is ground rice just normal white rice grounded finely. And please clarify what is whole rice. Sorry, I haven't used these ingredients before. Can I also substitute wine for something else as I have young kids n may not b suitable for them, what would be a good alternative to the wine

This is such a good soup and now a staple meal in our house. Kids love it also which is such a bonus as this is a healthy filling bowl of food for them.

Thank you!

Thanks for all the stars, guys!! :D

Thanks for all the stars, guys!! :D

So good.  Another great recipe Jo x

I have this cooking away now and it smelld divine....Cant wait to try it!!!!

If I could give this recipe more than 5 stars, I would.  This is our favorite FAVORITE recipe for the thermie...Jo is just brilliant and this is delicious!  We do ours a bit differently, in that I use left-over bbq chicken instead of raw.  We just add it in the last 10 mins or so, not from the beginning.  That makes it really stringy!  Also no one in our house really likes peas so we leave them out.  I occasionally will add corn instead of peas, which works really well!

A delicious, warm, comforting meal.  A must-try! 

I just love, love, love this soup. So comforting, delicious & wholesome. If you haven't tried it, it's a must!

I now use the chicken stock paste as much as the TMX veggie stock paste.

Thanks Jo!

Thanks Jo!

Great recipe, loved it. Was a little salty for some of my family members, but all in all a thumbs up here!!

Absolutely scrum-diddily-umptious!

Mmmm, your variation sounds great!!

Delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. Everyone loved it, kids included! 

I made this soup yesterday but used barley instead of brown rice (moths had got into my brown rice). It turned out to be really creamy and delicious. I cooked it for 25 minutes, added two chopped up zucchinis and cooked for another 10 minutes. Then put a large handful of baby spinach leaves into the TheroServer and poured the soup in there. Left it sitting on the bench for a while before serving. Great recipe!

Yay!! That's great

Thank you! You can just store the stock paste the same way as the vege stock paste - it'll last a few months in the fridge. But if you're worried about it, just freeze it in ice cube trays, then pop into a plastic bag in the freezer.

Just made this tonight, absolutely divine!  I was also wondering how to store the stock.

I've frozen my remaining stock into ice cube trays, but I would imagine that the same rules apply for this stock as for the EDC vege stock:  the salt will preserve it in the fridge for a period of about 3 months 

Oh YUM!  This soup really hits the spot, brimming full of goodness and deliciousness, even my soup- suspicious 11 year old liked it!

Made this soup last week and my husband made it for me yesterday as we are all sick with the winter flu! Thanks Jo we love it!

:)

Have made this soup on many occasions and is always such a deliciously nutritious meal in one!

It is especially good to give to anyone convalescing from illness.....easy to digest.

Just wondering how to store the chicken stock? Will it keep in the fridge?

Made this last week. Very similar in taste to a recipe my MIL whips up, without the tinned soup, which is fantastic. Enjoyed by every one in our family -  MrDoesn'tLikeSoup, MrsLovesSoup, Mstr9, Miss6 AND MissToddler

Thanks for this recipe I am looking forward to trying this.
