grating carrots for chicken and rice soup

Instead of cutting the carrots into chunks, grate the carrots using the large holes on your grater. This only takes a minute or two and makes the chicken rice soup more traditional and picky eaters won’t notice them as much.

The rice will continue to absorb liquid, so have extra chicken broth or water on hand. We use both chicken broth and water with a little soup base to save money.
