Luby'S Chicken And Rice Soup Recipe

Homemade Chicken and Rice Soup – a delicious, cozy meal for a cold day. This easy soup recipe is loaded with tender chicken, rice and vegetables in a flavorful broth. One of our favorite healthy soup recipes!

When the temperatures outside are frigid, there is nothing better than sitting down to a warm bowl of soup. I love soup recipes. Especially if that soup is filled with wholesome ingredients like shredded chicken, tender brown rice and veggies.

Everyone needs a classic chicken and rice soup recipe in their back pocket, and this one is made with just a few simple ingredients. This soup recipe is easy to customize based on what you have on hand. I’ll give you some suggestions and tips below.

Easy Creamy Chicken Rice Soup

I cannot sing this chicken and rice soup’s praises enough. The flavors are warm and comforting and it is incredibly easy to make. Your house will smell amazing as the soup simmers on the stove top.

It’s the kind of meal mom or grandma might cook for you to make you feel better when you’re sick. I love this chicken and rice soup just as much as my favorite chicken noodle soup recipes, Chicken Noodle Soup, Crockpot Chicken Noodle Soup and Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup.

Onion, Celery and Carrots: This trio of aromatic vegetables is often called a mirepoix and is the flavor base for your soup. Sauté the onion, celery and carrots in olive oil until they start to soften. This brings out their flavor. They will continue to cook and soften once you add the broth.

Easy Old Fashioned Chicken & Rice Soup

Dried Thyme: I love the flavor that thyme brings to this chicken rice soup. You can use fresh thyme if you have some on hand. When substituting fresh herbs for dried, use about 3 times as much of the fresh herb. You may use other seasonings, such as Italian seasoning, rosemary or parsley.

Salt and Pepper: Stir in some salt and pepper for flavor. I always err on the side of using less salt in the beginning. When your soup is done, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed.

Rice: This soup recipe is made with long-grain brown rice. You can use white rice or wild rice instead, but you will need to adjust the cook time accordingly. The long-grain brown rice takes about 35 minutes to cook in this soup. Wild rice will probably take a little longer, about 45 minutes, to cook until tender. White rice will cook faster and will take about 20 minutes. Check the directions on your package of rice to see how long it takes to cook at a simmer and adjust the recipe cook time accordingly.

Chicken Broth: I always recommend using a reduced sodium chicken broth so that you can control the amount of salt in your soup.

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast: You will add the chicken breasts to the soup whole. Nestle them down into the broth. The chicken will gently poach in the broth while the rice cooks.

Check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached a safe 165 degrees F. Follow my easy steps for how to shred chicken and then stir the shredded chicken back into the soup.

I like to serve this soup with yeast rolls and a kale salad on the side. If you love chicken and rice, try my Baked Chicken and Rice next.

To make this chicken rice soup with leftover chicken, stir your cooked, shredded chicken into the soup after the rice is done cooking. Simmer for a few minutes to warm the chicken.

To make this soup with leftover rice, you will stir the cooked rice into the finished soup. Simmer for a few minutes to warm the rice.

Yes! Try peas, zucchini, cubes of butternut squash or chunks of potato. You would want to stir the peas in at the end. Add other veggies that need to cook and soften when you add the broth.

You can make this soup ahead and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. The rice will soak up some of the broth and become softer. Before serving, stir in additional broth and warm on the stove.

I haven’t tried this recipe in my slow cooker yet, but it is similar enough to my slow cooker wild rice vegetable soup that I think it will work well. Combine all of the ingredients in your slow cooker. Cook until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. This will take about 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high.

Our take on traditional Chicken Soup with Rice has a wonderfully satisfying texture and robust flavor from the addition of parmesan cheese.

Soups with starchy ingredients (like pasta or rice) do make good leftovers if stored in the fridge and eaten within the next 24-48 hours.

However, the rice will continue to absorb the broth and make the mixture more of a thick stew rather than a creamy soup. You can add additional broth to loosen the soup when rewarming.

If you want a lighter classic soup, just skip the parmesan cheese and cornstarch. It won’t be as creamy, but the soup will still have great texture and flavor thanks to the rice and veggies.
