Post by: quirkycooking on July 06, 2010, 01:07:36 pm: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup
serves 6

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPQX2B20Qx0/TDQIbYqYbBI/AAAAAAAAA-o/dBa2b-VePCk/s400/creamy+chicken+soup.jpg)

Ingredients:

- 150g brown rice
- 50g raw almonds
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 large carrot
- 30g butter or olive oil
- 300g chicken, cubed
- 1 litre water
- 2 T chicken stock paste (made in TMX)
- 100g frozen peas
- handful fresh parsley, chopped (can chop in TMX before beginning, then put aside)

1. Grind 50g of the rice for 1 minute on speed 9. Add almonds and grind 20 secs on speed 9, or until fine. Set aside.

2. Place onion (halved), garlic cloves, celery (quartered) and carrot (quartered) in bowl and chop for 3 seconds, speed 5.

3. Add butter or oil and cook for 3 minutes, 100^o, speed 1.

4. Add chicken and cook 3 minutes, 100^o, speed 1.

5. Add water, stock paste, rest of rice, and ground rice and almonds, and cook for 30 minutes, 100^o, reverse, speed 1.

6. Add chopped parsley and peas, cook another 5 - 10 minutes, 100^o, reverse, speed 1. (If serving straight away, may need 10 mins - if sitting in server for a few mins, just needs 5.) Adjust seasonings if needed, and serve.

Note: If you like it saltier, just add more stock paste. Can use vege stock paste, but the chicken is nicer.

members' comments A very popular recipe

Zan - Made this without the chicken and with liquid chicken stock and it was really yummy. Highly recommend and without the chicken a very budget conscious meal. I also didn't put the peas in as I don't like peas in soup. I make stock from every chicken we have. So put the bones etc in the basket with garlic, peppercorns, celery (heads if I have them), onion, sometimes other stuff and 1 litre of water and cook for 35 mins.

ELH05 - I made this soup with white rice. Other things I did differently was I didn't have celery so just used about the same amount of green capsicum and used the TMX vege stock concentrate. Still ended up with a beautiful, thick, creamy hearty soup! Really enjoyed it so it's got me thinking what it could taste like with the brown rice.

QJ - You could grind up all the rice - I do when I'm in a hurry for it to cook - reduces the cooking time by about half. I also often bulk it out with veges steaming on top in the Varoma - see my recipe on my blog for details and pics, as I've updated it.

anneaussie & floweryspring - both used cashews instead of almonds.

Post by: cathy79 on July 07, 2010, 02:34:12 am: This looks great Jo.

I haven't seen a recipe for chicken stock paste. Is there one on here somewhere or is it from one of the books?
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free)
Post by: quirkycooking on July 07, 2010, 02:46:24 am: It's in the 'My Way of Cooking' cookbook ... here's how:

Mince up 300g of raw chicken, put aside. Chop 10 secs sp 5 - 200g veges (leek/onion/shallots, carrot, garlic, celery, celeriac - your choice - I use more veges, about 300g), and a few sprigs fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley).

Then add 150g coarse sea salt, 1 bay leaf, 50g white wine, 1 clove & 5 coriander seeds (I just put in a dash of ground cloves and a dash of ground coriander) and the ground up chicken mince, and cook for 30 mins, Varoma, sp 2 with simmering basket on top instead of mc. (I think 20 mins is enough, otherwise it dries out too much. It is drier than the vege stock paste though.)

Replace mc and blend 1 min, speed 10.

Use 1 tsp in 500g water for chicken stock.

Post by: Cornish Cream on July 07, 2010, 09:26:34 am: This looks like our kind of soup,the type where you can stand a spoon up in it!! Looks delicious.Thanks Jo.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: judydawn on July 07, 2010, 09:56:30 am: Have just made this and yes it is nice and thick. A completely different taste to what we are used to in a chicken soup but you soon get used to it. I just used a liquid chicken stock with the addition of some chicken stock powder but must make up some of that concentrated chicken stock. Thanks Jo.

Post by: CreamPuff63 on July 08, 2010, 04:22:42 am: QC what is the recommended life of the chicken stock paste?
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: quirkycooking on July 08, 2010, 10:48:06 pm: It will last a few months in the fridge, like the vege stock paste. Mine never last too long though, because it's so tasty I put it in a lot of things!
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: Very Happy Jan on July 09, 2010, 01:41:25 am: The soup looks great QC and thanks for the chicken stock paste recipe. I'll be making the paste today and hopefully the soup tomorrow. It's a really wet wintery day in Perth today and apparently will stay like this for a few days so soups are high on the menu list.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: quirkycooking on July 09, 2010, 03:47:51 am: Our weather's turned wet and wintery too, just in time for the show :-)) so we'll be slopping through the mud this weekend! (When I say 'wintery', I'm talking far north Qld winter - maybe 20 degrees tonight, but feels colder when you're constantly getting wet!!) I could eat soup anytime though - I love it :)
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: CreamPuff63 on July 09, 2010, 04:01:03 am: thanks QC, i will probably use this stock paste more than the vege one now. having both will be very handy.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: Thermomixer on July 12, 2010, 07:03:20 am: Good work Quirky Jo - sounds yummy. Thanks for the chicken stock too. :-* :-* :-* :-*

How's the new house? - might find that info in another post?
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: quirkycooking on July 12, 2010, 12:40:01 pm: New house is going well, thanks Thermomixer! A bit of a bigger kitchen, and close to Mum - YAY! (Very handy when you need to dash out the door but the cake is still in the oven, or you've run out of something...) ;D And sometimes when you get home your dishes are done!!! :o :D

Post by: judydawn on July 13, 2010, 10:15:50 am: I meant to get back on this soup Jo, DH would choose this for his meal when I gave him options of left overs last week so he obviously didn't notice it had a completely different taste to our chicken soup. It seemed to improve with age too.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: quirkycooking on July 13, 2010, 10:59:05 am: That's good :)

Came home to a clean house again today - Grandma gets the kids all working! Yippee!! ;D
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: Zan on October 16, 2010, 09:57:12 am: Made this today but without the chicken and with liquid chicken stock and it was really yummy. Definitely on the family list.
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_baJJCSYEBXM/TLlYPoDQaJI/AAAAAAAAA-k/TYWXWmKMvkA/s320/soup1610.jpg)
Highly recommend and without the chicken a very budget conscious meal (the stock was from a chicken we had on Thursday).

ETA - I also didn't put the peas in as I don't like peas in soup, lol.

Post by: achookwoman on October 16, 2010, 11:48:29 am: Zan, did you make the stock out of the carcass and bones from the chicken?

Yes. I make stock from every chicken we have. So put the bones etc in the basket with garlic, peppercorns, celery (heads if I have them), onion, sometimes other stuff and 1lt of water and cook for 35 mins.

And as I had the bargain of the year on Thursday where I got 2 mispriced BBQ chickens for a grand total of 30c!! It was very cheap stock too, lol.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: judydawn on October 16, 2010, 12:45:25 pm: Great price Zan - I love a bargain
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: zebraa on October 16, 2010, 12:50:40 pm: This is going to be on the menu this week - also with stock made from the carcus. Thankyou.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: Cornish Cream on October 16, 2010, 12:52:13 pm: Watched Nigella on one of her TV programmes when she said that she even used the chicken bones from everyones plate (to make stock) after they had eaten their roast chicken dinner.I'm never quite that desperate. :D :D
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: judydawn on October 16, 2010, 12:54:06 pm: Do you guys boil the skin too and what if there is stuffing in there (on bought ones they all seem to be stuffed).
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: quirkycooking on October 16, 2010, 01:25:11 pm: Good idea for a budget meal, Zan!

I don't ever add the stuffing to the stock - I think it would make it all cloudy and thick (and I don't know what's in it - could be scary - I don't even eat it! :P)
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: judydawn on October 16, 2010, 02:08:13 pm: Me neither, goes straight into the bin.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: cookie1 on October 18, 2010, 06:00:56 am: My DH likes to pick chicken bones until they are bare. I don't suppose I could really use them for stock after that................or could I? What do you think please? Would it be ok if it was only for family?
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: Zan on October 18, 2010, 06:40:49 am: I pull my chicken apart and throw in the wing tips and parsons nose and only leave the bones in the drumsticks and wings when I serve up - could you do that for your dh and just give him those pieces? My carcass is fairly clean but not picked at clean so not sure how it would go if they were all picked over.

Stuffing, yes I take it out of store bought chickens.

A better way might be to buy chicken frames and used that for stock but it is nice sometimes just to buy a whole nice chicken and sacrifice it to a good stock. My dog Jaxon loves it when mummy does this.

Post by: Millipede on October 24, 2010, 02:00:48 pm: Well ok I cooked this up tonight for the family and it was an absolute hit. DD1 took one mouthful and said "Oh this is Yum".

I think its the best TM recipe I have had in a LONG time :)

Oh and I only used chicken stock powder (well it was the massel 'gourmet' one) I can only imagine how much better it will taste with proper chicken stock.

Funny thing though.... I served it up and then said... "hmmm next time I might chuck in some peas or beans in it to add some colour". Its only replying to this thread that I realised it was part of the recipe and I forgot to transcribe that bit :-))

Post by: bigTcup on December 29, 2010, 09:24:27 am: I made this for the second time & I just love it!! I made it with the left overs of a cooked chook (about 1/3 to 1/2 of a chook). Will use the carcass to make chicken stock (first attempt). Thanks for this one - it will definatley be a regular in our house.

Post by: allthingscraft on April 13, 2011, 08:00:52 am: Jo - thank you so much for a great tasty recipe. I made this for lunch and it filled the spot as it's a cold and miserable day in Melbourne today. Yum!

Could I ask - if I need to get the chicken pieces smaller would I use a higher speed in step 4 when cooking the chicken? I love the texture of the soup but just need to get the chicken smaller and don't want to puree it smooth at the end. Not sure the best way to do it and at what step.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: quirkycooking on April 13, 2011, 11:32:58 am: Hi allthingscraft - I think if you don't put the blades on reverse in step 5 the chicken would be chopped finer - or of course you could chop it smaller when you're cubing it... But I would put it on reverse once you add the peas so they don't get squished! :)
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: allthingscraft on April 13, 2011, 11:54:49 pm: Thanks Jo have added the notes to try next time. DH loved the soup last night when he tried it. This will be a regular.

Post by: ellie j on April 14, 2011, 08:41:52 am: Thanks for this recipe ... loved by the whole family :D
Had to leave the almonds out as I have intolerance to all nuts except walnuts and peanuts ( didnt think they would be good substitutes in this recipe ) so probably not as creamy but delicious .... Oh and added some fresh corn with the peas .. YUM

Post by: kamian on July 23, 2011, 05:49:00 pm: This soup is luscious!! Week 1 with my thermomix and this was my second true recipe (beyond smoothies and almondy mylk). My first was the chicken paste so that I could make this soup. It's incredibly YUMLICIOUS. I added some ground peanuts and cilantro for garnish and can imagine that adding a little pepper heat would be wonderful as well.

It's in the 'My Way of Cooking' cookbook ... here's how:

Mince up 300g of raw chicken, put aside. Chop 10 secs sp 5 - 200g veges (leek/onion/shallots, carrot, garlic, celery, celeriac - your choice - I use more veges, about 300g), and a few sprigs fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley).

Then add 150g coarse sea salt, 1 bay leaf, 50g white wine, 1 clove & 5 coriander seeds (I just put in a dash of ground cloves and a dash of ground coriander) and cook for 30 mins, Varoma, sp 2 with simmering basket on top instead of mc. (I think 20 mins is enough, otherwise it dries out too much. It is drier than the vege stock paste though.)

Replace mc and blend 1 min, speed 10.

Use 1 tsp in 500g water for chicken stock.

Jo - quick question! you say to mince up the raw chicken, but I can't see after that what you do with it? do you put it in the simmering basket on top? do you cook the chicken and put it in there? confused! (and i'm a newbie, so maybe i'm just missing something) :)
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: judydawn on August 08, 2011, 07:35:14 am: Kimby83, I have just checked MWOC and you add the minced chicken back in with the salt, bay leaf etc

I can't see why not ELH05, just reduce the cooking time as white rice cooks faster than brown. :)
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: Tasty on June 05, 2012, 12:43:18 pm: I made this last week and it is quite tasty! Thanks for posting Jo.

As for using white rice, I think it will give it a different texture so it won't be as creamy....but I could be wrong.
Title: Re: Creamy Chicken & Brown Rice Soup (dairy free) with photo
Post by: CreamPuff63 on June 06, 2012, 02:02:36 am: I haven't made this for a while but will be cranking up soup production now that the weather has turned cooler. If I can remember, the brown rice gives it a certain nutty flavour.

Still ended up with a beautiful, thick, creamy hearty soup! Really enjoyed it so its got me thinking what it could taste like with the brown rice.

Really good !!

I also often bulk it out with veges steaming on top in the Varoma - see my recipe on my blog for details and pics, as I've updated it. :)

She happily as this tonight after a tentative bite! So thank you! It's such a nourishing meal that even half a kid's sized bowl is plenty in my opinion.

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to make it though (it's been on my to do list for a couple of years). It was delicious and very warming. Chicken soup always makes you feel good.

I left out the almonds as my DH has a nut allergy, replacing them with extra brown rice.
