Chef Tips
- Remove the gray foam that rises to the surface in the initial boiling of the chicken with a skimmer to clarify the broth.
- Shred the chicken breast into medium flakes to maintain a pleasant texture in every spoonful of soup.
- Add fresh herbs only after turning off the heat to preserve the freshness and essential oils.
Variations
- Chicken soup with ginger: cook a thick slice of fresh ginger in the broth for a warming digestive aroma.
- With fresh peas: add half a cup of fresh frozen peas in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Mint touch: replace half of the parsley with fresh mint leaves chopped at the time of serving.
Substitutions
- O peito de frango pode ser substituído por sobrecoxa ou frango caipira com osso para produzir caldo mais denso.
- O arroz branco agulhinha pode ser substituído por arroz integral pré-cozido ou macarrão tipo ave-maria.
- A cenoura em cubos pode ser combinada ou trocada por batata inglesa picadinha ou mandioquinha (batata-baroa).
How to Store
Guarde em panela tampada ou pote de vidro hermético na geladeira por até 4 dias. Como o arroz continua absorvendo líquido, reaqueça em fogo brando adicionando meia xícara de água quente para recuperar a consistência fluida.
Can You Freeze It?
It freezes very well in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours or directly in the pan over low heat, adding half a cup of boiling water to adjust the broth thickened by the rice starch.
What to Serve With
Serve steaming hot accompanied by French bread toast, freshly grated parmesan cheese, and drops of lemon juice to taste. Pairs perfectly with glasses of light white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or flavored mineral water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the chicken soup get very thick after cooling?
The rice starch gelatinizes and absorbs the broth; just add a little hot water or broth when reheating on the stove.
Can I make the chicken soup in the pressure cooker to be faster?
Yes, cook the chicken in the pressure cooker for 15 minutes; then open the pan, add the rice and carrot, and cook without pressure.
How to give more flavor and golden color to the broth?
Sauté the onion and garlic well until golden before adding the rice and add a pinch of turmeric.
Should the rice be washed before entering the chicken soup (canja)?
Washing the rice removes excess surface starch leaving the grain looser; without washing, the chicken soup becomes more velvety.
