Hi!
So, I had a craving for my babysitter's chicken & rice soup... but I decided to change it up a bit.
1# ground chicken
12oz bacon (I used low fat bacon)
1/2 bag (each) of frozen corn, greenbeans, and peas
2 stalks of celery- small dice
1 carrot- small dice
2 boxes of chicken stock, low sodium (AT LEAST 6 cups needed)
2c of rice (I used the long white grain that was on hand but is easy to just use instant as well. If using the long grain, it will take half an hour more to prepare)
1 onion, small dice
lawrey's seasoning salt (or use just plain salt if desired)
pepper
1. Cook bacon, I just used kitchen shears and cut the slices into chunks into the pot.
2. Remove and drain bacon and remove majority of grease into small bowl.
3. Cook ground chicken until no longer pink. (season with lawrey's seasoning salt and pepper!!!)
4. Remove meat, can put to chill out with bacon.
5. Pour 2T or remaining bacon grease into pot, add celery, onions, and carrots.
6. Cook until all tender.
7. Add rice, and cook for 5 min.
8.Add stock, bring to boil.
8. Cook for half an hour until rice is tender.
9. Add meat and frozen veggies.
10. Cook for another 10-15min to reheat meat and veggies.
Serve immediately! :)
I will make this tonight so I don't have a picture yet but I figured I'd type it up now! Hope you like my twist on the already delicious chicken & rice soup! I almost forgot to add the corn, greenbeans, and peas until I went to the fridge! It looked great without those 3 other ingredients! Feel free to omit or add any veggies. This dish is awesome!
P.S.- For a quick dessert, I bought frozen pound cake, sliced strawberries in a tub in the frozen section, and whipped cream! Yum!
