  3. Add in the garlic and Italian seasoning, and saute for another minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken and broth. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Since you’re only cooking the chicken soup for thirty minutes, you do need to use pre-cooked chicken for the recipe. Shredded chicken breasts work best but chicken thighs give a savory flavory.
  • If you don’t have homemade chicken broth on hand, use bone broth powder (it’s a godsend!). Pour two scoops in with three cups of water. You may need to adjust the salt in the soup and add a pinch more.
  • Store leftover soup once cooled in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. To reheat it, simmer over medium to low heat on the stove.
  • Freeze chicken and rice soup once cooled in a freezer-safe container. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • You can make this gluten-free chicken rice soup in a slow cooker. Add all the ingredients into the slow cooker and stir well. Let it cook on low for 3 ish hours.
