Chicken and Rice Soup

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are tender.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot. Cook until chicken is browned.

Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set the shredded chicken aside.

Add rice to the pot and simmer for an additional 15 minutes, or until rice is cooked.

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well. Cook for a few more minutes to heat the chicken through.

Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs like parsley or dill.

Serve hot and enjoy the comforting chicken and rice soup!
