Preparation

Step 1

In stock pot, add enough water to barely cover chicken. Add celery stalks, onions, garlic, carrots, bay leaf, peppercorns and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour or so.

Add chicken bouillon to stock (dissolve in small amount water before adding). Add basil, thyme, sage and rice – cover and reheat to near boiling – reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

Cut cooked carrot into slices and add to soup. Adjust salt, pepper and bouillon to taste.
