This is a filling soup that is a variation on the traditional chicken and corn soup, with a few extra flavours and nutrients.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup jasmine rice (or any long grain rice)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 skinless organic chicken thigh or breast fillets, coarsely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, julienne into 5cm strips
  • 1 red capsicum, sliced into 5cm strips
  • 125g frozen (or canned or fresh) corn
  • Handful of coriander leaves, chopped

Method

  1. Add the chicken stock to a heavy, iron-based pot.
  2. Add the rice and bring to the boil, covered with the lid.
  3. Once the water has reached the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the rice is softened.
  4. Add the chicken, carrot, capsicum and corn and cook on a medium heat for a further 30 minutes.
  5. Serve garnished with the coriander.

Always buy organic chicken, as it is tastier and better for you.
