1 L chicken broth

250–300 g cooked chicken, shredded VERY finely

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

½ cup uncooked white rice (about 90–100 g) OR 300g of cooked rice OR 40g of dry noodle and 150g cooked rice

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

1 bay leaf 🌿

½ tsp dried thyme

½ tsp dried oregano

½ tsp black pepper

Salt, to taste

1–2 tsp lemon juice at the end

Optional: fresh parsley, chopped

Optional: add a tiny pinch of turmeric—like ⅛ tsp. Not enough to make it taste like turmeric, just enough to give the broth a gorgeous golden color.

Steps

Start The Flavor Base

Put your pot over medium heat.
Add the olive oil/butter, then 🧅 onion + garlic.
Cook for about 3–4 minutes, until the onion softens.
We're NOT trying to brown everything heavily because we want that nice clear broth.

Add Your Broth

Pour in your 1 L chicken broth.
Add,
bay leaf
thyme
oregano
black pepper
turmeric, if using.
Bring it to a gentle simmer.
Taste it now.
If your homemade broth is already salty, DON'T add much salt yet.

Potato Time 🥔

Add your little potato cubes.
Simmer for about 8 minutes.
You want them to start softening before the rice goes in.

Add The Pasta Or Rice 🍚

Add your ½ cup UNCOOKED rice.
Give everything a stir and keep it at a gentle simmer.
Cook for roughly 15–18 minutes, depending on your rice.
You want the rice cooked but not blown up into porridge.
If it sits in the broth forever, it'll absorb everything and turn your beautiful clear soup into CHICKEN RICE PUDDING™. 😂

If using pasta, add pasta and cook according to package.

If using COOKED rice, add it during next step.

Shredded Chicken Goes In 🐔

When the rice and potatoes are basically done, add your shredded chicken.
Since it's already cooked, you only need about 3–5 minutes to warm it through.

Finish It ✨

Remove the bay leaf.
Taste.
Adjust,
salt
pepper.
Then add 1–2 tsp lemon juice.
THIS is my favorite part.
You don't want it tasting lemony. You just want that tiny bit of acidity to make the chicken broth taste brighter and more flavorful.
Add some fresh parsley if you have it.
