Chicken Rice And Cabbage Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 4 quarts water. Add chicken; bring to a boil. Cook until chicken is coming apart, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat; remove chicken from pot and transfer to a platter. Put a lid on the pot and cover the chicken with plastic wrap. Refrigerate both until chicken is safe to handle, about 40 minutes.
• Tear meat off the chicken bones. Skim excess fat off the top of the cooled broth. Add the last 2 quarts water, chicken meat, carrots, cabbage, celery, onion, wine, bouillon, dill, butter, garlic, parsley, thyme, white pepper, and bay leaves. Cook over medium heat until vegetables have softened, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Add garlic, 2 cups chicken broth, and rice to a large soup pot; bring to a boil.
• Lower heat to a simmer; cook, covered, for 20 minutes.
• Process rice mixture and 4 cups broth in a blender; return to the soup pot.
• Add remaining 2 cups broth and cabbage.
• Bring to a simmer; simmer for 15 minutes; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a 6 qt dutch oven, lightly saute garlic and onions in a little olive oil
• add chicken and cabbage and stir lightly.
• add bouillon, I prefer the Better than Bouillon brand, and add enough water to cover the mix, I like chunky thick soup, you can add more water to your taste.
• add red pepper, salt and black pepper to taste
• add the orzo and boil 2 minutes less than directions state on the package.
• let the soup rest about 5 minutes.
• serve with garlic bread and a salad for a full meal!
