Made with bone-in chicken, carrot and rice, this easy-to-digest, satisfying warm soup offers gentle support to mum during the postpartum recovery period.
Ingredients
- 300 g Bone-in chicken (thigh or breast)
- 1 piece Carrot (diced)
- 1 piece Onion (peeled)
- 1 stalk Celery stalk (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Rice (rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 sprigs Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 piece Lemon (to serve)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 cups Water
Directions
- 1
Rinse the chicken and place it in a pot, add the water and bring to a boil; gently skim off the foam that rises to the surface with a spoon.
- 2
Add the onion, carrot and celery stalk; simmer over low heat until the chicken is tender, about 40 minutes.
- 3
Remove the chicken, let it cool slightly and shred it; strain the broth through a fine sieve to clarify it.
- 4
Return the strained broth to the stove, add the rice and cook until the rice is soft.
- 5
Return the shredded chicken to the soup, stir in the salt and olive oil, and bring to a brief boil.
- 6
Before taking it off the heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley; squeeze a little lemon over each bowl when serving.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Chicken provides quality protein, which is important during the postpartum recovery period; warm chicken broth supports fluid intake and is generally easy to digest. Carrot and celery add vitamins and minerals, while olive oil brings a healthy fat to the bowl. Light yet satisfying, it can be a gentle, warming meal on busy postpartum days.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we believe a new mum also needs warm, nourishing and easy-to-make meals; you can prepare this soup in a large pot, divide it into portions and store it, keeping it on hand for tiring days. If you like, you can use vermicelli or bulgur instead of rice.
