My Favorite Super Easy Chicken And Rice Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large onions, coursely chopped or 1 1/2 cups chopped onions
3 large celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices or 1 1/2 cups cut celery
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices or 1 1/2 cups cut carrots
1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
1 cup long grain brown rice
1/3 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 teaspoons salt
3 quarts water
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Combine onion, celery, carrots, chicken, rice, parsley, and salt in a 6-quart pot. Add water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer, skimming off fat as needed, for one hour.
Transfer chicken to a colander. When cool enough to handle, remove meat; discard skin and bones. Coarsely shred chicken and return to soup. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper or to taste. Reheat if necessary.
