Garlic, Onion, and Rice Soup with Chicken

published by Katherine SuttonSmith on Sep 15, 2009

I often call this my “kill the germs” soup. It is fixed when everyone at home is sick and has an abundance of onion and garlic accompanied by chicken.

This recipe will feed a family of five with plenty left over. It is best prepared in an 8 qt crock pot. 

    • 5 Chicken breasts; boneless, skinless
    • 5 whole carrots, sliced
    • 1 bunch celery hearts, sliced
    • 2 sweet onions, diced
    • 2 bunches green onions, chopped
    • 6 tomatoes, chopped
    • 2 bulbs of garlic
    • 2 tbs olive oil
    • 4 cups chicken broth
    • 4 cups vegetable broth
    • 3 cups rice
    • Salt and Pepper to taste
  1. Turn your crock pot to high.
  2. Chop, slice or dice all veggies and set the onions and garlic in one bowl; the carrots, tomatoes and celery in another. 
  3. Cut the chicken into cubes. Place in your heated crock pot and let brown. 
  4. Sauté garlic and onions in olive oil till softened and translucent. Add celery, carrots, and one cup broth (your choice) boil for 10 minutes, till broth is reduced and carrots are softening. 
  5. Pour garlic/onion/celery/carrot/broth mixture into crock pot. Turn crock pot to low (will take about 6 hours on low), add rest of broth and tomatoes.
  6. About an hour and a half before serving add rice and stir. 

Serve with your favorite rolls and enjoy the benefits of natural immunity boosters in great tasting food.
