What's for Dinner? Chicken Orange Soup!

Ingredients 

·    ½ onion

·    1 large potato

·    1 orange

·    1 green pepper

·    ½ chicken cut into pieces

·    5 cups of water

·    5-6 peppercorns

·    ¼ bunch celery

·    1 tsp salt

·    2 tbsp olive oil

·    1 cup of basmati rice

o     Place chicken pieces and water in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. 

Reduce heat, cover and simmer, for another 30 minutes.

o     Chop onion, place in the pot add olive oil and slowly cook gradually adding chopped pepper.

o     Strain broth and let chicken pieces cool. 

When chicken is cool enough to handle, remove skin and bones, cut meat into bite-size pieces.

o     Add chicken broth to onions, reduce heat add rice, salt, chopped potatoes and pieces of chicken. 

Let cook for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

o     Add peppercorns, orange, and celery, turn the heat off, let simmer for 5 minutes before serving.

 Keep in mind that the soup will taste completely different after 5-6 hours; slightly sour but more flavorful - therefore plan accordingly. Also basmati rice cooks fairly fast, so you can add potatoes at the same time.

Enjoy!
