Recipe Tips

  • If you don't have long-grain white rice, you can use brown rice or wild rice instead.
  • If you are in a hurry, you can use pre-cooked chicken, such as rotisserie chicken, instead of cooking your own.
  • If you want to add a creamy texture to the soup, you can stir in some heavy cream or coconut milk at the end of cooking.
  • You can also add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten up the flavors of the soup.
