Ingredients

For 4 servings.

  • 400 g chicken
  • 400 g carrots
  • 2 pcs onion
  • 200 g rice
  • 1500 ml water
  • 2 tbsp parsley
  • 30 g butter
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

How to make it

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, the carrots into slices and the onions into dice. Chop the parsley.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pot for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Sweat the onions in the butter for 4-5 minutes, until glossy.
  4. Add the chicken and carrots, pour in the water and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Add the rice and let it cook along for 10-12 minutes, until tender.
  6. Season the soup firmly with salt and pepper — a soup needs more seasoning than you think.
  7. Ladle the soup into deep plates and scatter the parsley over.

Calculated from the ingredients using figures from Frida (the National Food Institute at the Technical University of Denmark), by the same code the app uses. The calories are rounded to the nearest ten, because home cooking lands within about ±30 % — a number with more digits would promise a precision it does not have. No judgement is attached to these figures, and none is coming.
