A couple of weeks ago when the HH was home sick for 5 days, I served him the worlds best comfort food every single day for lunch. Homemade chicken soup. Let’s just say it only took me 2 days to wise up and make a giant batch. 😉 This recipe makes {8} 1 gallon sized bags, so if you don’t want to load your freezer with that much soup, then simply cut the recipe in half. But I’m telling you, it’s worth the space if you have it.
Chicken and Brown Rice Soup
Ingredients
- 8 Pounds Chicken , cooked and shredded {I used Zaycon Chicken}
- 4 cups Frozen Peas
- 4 Cups Frozen Corn
- 8 Heaping tablespoons Concentrated Chicken Stock Base
- 4 Cups Brown Rice {uncooked}
- 8 teaspoons dried thyme
- 4 teaspoons ground pepper
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 4 teaspoons dried oregano
- 8 teaspoons hot sauce
- 8 1 gallon sized freezer bags
Instructions
-
Fill each bag with the following:
-
1 Pound Chicken, cooked and shredded
-
1/2 cup Frozen Peas
-
1/2 cup Frozen Corn
-
1 Heaping tablespoon Concentrated Chicken Stock Base
-
1/2 cup Brown Rice {uncooked}
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon hot sauce
-
After filling the bags, label, date and zip them closed before tossing them into the freezer.
-
Empty contents of the chicken soup mix into a crock pot or into a stock pot, add 5 cups of water and cook on low until the soup is warm and the rice is soft. {About 2 hours in the crock pot or 30 minutes on the stove top}.
Stocking your freezer full of meals is RAD!
