Over the weekend the wife had a cold.
So, I tried something different:
Chicken Soup with Rice, Lemon and Mint
5 cups of homemade chicken broth
1 cup water
1 cup of long grain rice
1lbs of chopped chicken (white or dark meat, or a mix of the two)
1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
S&P to taste
1tbls of dried mint leaves
In saucepan combine 1cup of chicken stock and the 1 cup of water, bring to a boil and add rice. Cover and lower heat to a simmer. Cook till broth/water has evaporated and rice is cooked through.
Remove from heat.
In another saucepan, pour remaining 4 cups of chicken stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add chopped chicken, reduce heat to low and cook gently till chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken is cooked, add rice, lemon juice and season to taste. Added mint and serve!
Serves 4-6.
