Directions
Strip away any chicken from the bones and set meat aside in the refrigerator. Place the bird in a soup pot and cover with broth or water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Strain the broth and remove and refrigerate any remaining pieces of meat from the bones. Reserve the broth; discard the bones.
Put the pot back on the burner over medium-low heat. Add butter or oil, thyme, onion, celery and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until vegetables soften slightly. Add the stock and simmer 15 minutes.
Add the remaining vegetables, chicken and rice. Return to a simmer and cook until the ingredients are warmed through. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
