Hubby was not feeling well all day yesterday and wasn't keeping food down well (read: at all), so I decided to get some emergency get-well supplies from the grocery store on my way home from work. I picked up a Vitamin Water (regular vitamins probably would have been better, but wouldn't be as easy to keep down), some saltines, a loaf of bread to make toast, chicken broth (to drink in case he needed liquid food), and two bone-in chicken breasts to make my Mom's Get Well soup. My mom makes this amazing chicken and rice soup that always makes me feel better whenever I'm sick, so I got the recipe from her to make for hubby. I like the soup so much, I planned on having it for dinner, myself.
- 2 bone-in chicken breasts
- 1 small to medium onion, chopped
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-1 1/2 cups white rice, uncooked
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- salt, pepper, thyme
Great recipe – thanks! It reminds of that Chinese soup recipe known as "Congee" or "Jook" – basically its sort of the same thing and most people eat it when they are sick. I eat it also when it's really cold outside and its a great comfort food. I will definitely try your mom's recipe! Thanks!
That looks INCREDIBLE.
I am going to keep the recipe and make it.
