Homemade chicken and rice soup — the soup that warms the heart. A rich homemade broth with rice, vegetables and tender chicken. Perfect for cold winter days.
Put the chicken and the water in a large pot, bring to a boil and skim off the foam with a spoon. Add the onion, carrot, celery root and garlic in large pieces, season with salt and black pepper and bring back to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer at a gentle bubble uncovered about 1½ hours.

💡Skim the foam that rises at the first boil, and after that only a gentle bubble: a hard boil makes the soup cloudy.
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.

Remove the chicken from the pot, separate the meat from the skin and bones and cut into pieces.
