Creamy Rosemary Chicken Soup with Rice

Creamy Rosemary Chicken Soup with Rice is a savory blend of browned chicken, sliced carrots, and herbs like rosemary and oregano, simmered with rice in chicken broth and coconut milk. The soup becomes thick and rich as the rice cooks through, combining creamy coconut milk with fresh lemon accents and tender baby spinach. This hearty soup offers a well-rounded meal with a balance of protein, vegetables, and comforting creaminess enhanced by herbal notes.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 carrot peeled and sliced, large
  • 1/2 cup rice see note, uncooked
  • 1 chicken breast chopped, large, boneless skinless
  • 3 cups chicken broth or bone broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk full-fat, canned
  • 1 lemon or 2 tsp lemon juice, zested
  • 1 Tbsp rosemary dried

  • 1/2 tsp salt to taste, sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oil in your dutch oven (or stock pot) over medium and add the carrots. Cook carrots until they begin to soften, then scoot them to the side of the pot so you can brown the chicken.
  2. Once the chicken has browned for a couple of minutes, add the remaining ingredients for the soup and cover.
  3. Bring soup to a full boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook 40 to 50 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked and soup has thickened. Uncover and increase the heat to bring soup back to a gentle boil. Cook to reduce and thicken for 5 to 10 minutes.
  4. Serve heaping bowls and enjoy!

Notes

  • You may substitute any type of rice; sprouted brown rice offers additional nutrition but cook time varies accordingly.
