Mama's Chicken and Rice Soup

"Mama's prescription for New England's dreariest winter days: "Bundle up, and sip this soup. (Repeat as needed)" This is a very nutritious, hearty, and satisfying meal in a bowl. It's also very easy to make. Sprinkle with a touch of Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese....Hmmmmm!"

  • Combine the first 9 ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken and carrots to a platter; cool slightly. Pull chicken meat off the bones in bite-sized pieces. Discard the bones. Thinly slice carrots and reserve.
  • Strain broth; discard the solids in the strainer. Pour 2 cups broth into a heavy medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Return remaining broth, chicken meat pieces, and sliced carrots to the same large pot used to cook the chicken. Bring to a simmer. Stir in the cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired, and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
