AN EASY SOUP RECIPE FOR THOSE TIMES YOU JUST NEED CHICKEN SOUP

Chicken soup is one of those recipes that simply seems too easy to make to actually produce the mountains of comforting home-cooked flavor that it has. We guess some ingredients are just destined to be together!

This chicken soup with rice is a simple medley of aromatic veggies like carrots, celery, onions and garlic – mixed with healthy chicken breast and broth… the usual suspects when it comes to hearty and warming chicken soup. But we’ve added flavor accents like fresh thyme and bay leaf for little pops of garden freshness.

And our big secret ingredient in this easy chicken soup is a couple tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. The brightness it introduces to this otherwise savory soup can’t be overstated. It’s wonderful!

Now, you’ll only need a cup of brown rice for this healthy rice cooker soup. The heartiness of the grains hold up a bit better than jasmine rice in the cooking soup – and the nutty flavor is an absolutely great addition!

Aside from the fantastic flavor, we think you’re also going to love how easy it is to make in your rice cooker.

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN SOUP IN A RICE COOKER

Making soups in your Tiger rice cooker is as easy as popping a few ingredients in the inner pot, selecting the Slow Cook setting and pressing the Start key.

So get to chopping your veggies! This warming, savory and bright chicken and rice soup will be ready in the press of a button!
