Middle East Chicken Soup
My mom gave me this soup recipe. Delicious! A bit spicy for kids but I imagine you could leave out the cayenne pepper and it would be a hit. She had peas, dill, and lemon juice added at the end if those appeal to you. I'm not a big dill fan, didn't have any peas, and forgot the lemon juice! Here's my version...
6 cups chicken broth
2 small onion, chopped finely
1 piece of celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup raw rice or 1 cup cooked rice
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1-2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 large tomato, chopped, or one 16 oz. can diced tomatoes with juice
Simmer the broth, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, cumin, and cayenne and simmer for 10 minutes. If using raw rice, add now. Add the cooked rice, if using, the chicken, and the tomato and simmer 10 more minutes.
