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.

Our chicken and rice soup is great to take to someone who is sick or is on the mend from stomach problems. There are no onions in the soup to make it easier to digest.

This is a delicious chicken and rice soup base recipe, but you can add ingredients to make it even more flavorful and healthy!
