Cuisine: Comfort food
Ingredients: 5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts; 3 large onions, chopped; 6 carrots, peeled and sliced; 6 celery stalks, sliced; 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped; 1 tbsp dried thyme; 1 tbsp dried oregano; 2 bay leaves; Salt and pepper to taste; 16 cups low-sodium chicken broth; 2 cups water; 2 cups uncooked white rice

Instructions

In a large stockpot, place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cover them with the low-sodium chicken broth and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool.
While the chicken is cooling, add the chopped onions, sliced carrots, and celery into the broth. Stir well to combine.
Shred the cooked chicken using two forks or chop it into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot.
Add the dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings.
Allow the soup to simmer on low heat for another 20-25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
In a separate pot, cook the white rice according to the package instructions.
Once the rice is cooked, add it to the soup and stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt and pepper according to your preference.
Just before serving, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the soup for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
Serve the Chicken Soup for Large Groups hot in a large soup tureen or individual bowls. Enjoy with some crusty bread or crackers on the side for a complete and satisfying meal.
