Ingredients

  • Lemon
  • White wine
  • Green peas
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup shredded carrots, available in the produce section, or 1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves (from 5 to 6 sprigs), chopped
  • 1 quart chicken stock (6 cups total, including the 2 cups in the original recipe)
  • 1/2 cup white rice (1 1/2 cups total, including the 1 cup in the original recipe)

Method

  • Prepare according to the master recipe, #121, skipping the first step of cooking the rice and starting by sauteing the chicken and leeks as before.
  • When you add the leeks, also add the bay leaf, carrots, celery, and thyme.
  • Add all 6 cups of stock and bring the stoup to a boil.
  • Stir in the 1 1/2 cups of rice and cook until the rice is just tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley, adjust the salt and pepper, and serve.
  • Leftovers will get really thick, and the rice will bloat.
  • Add a combination of broth and water to reheat the stoup.
