Canned beans save time, but you can also cook dried beans for a more homemade touch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vegetable Additions<\/strong>: Enhance the soup with additional vegetables like corn, zucchini, or spinach. These can be added during the cooking process for extra nutrition and colour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spice Adjustments<\/strong>: Experiment with the spice blend by adding smoked paprika for a subtle smokiness or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. You can also try fresh herbs like thyme or bay leaves for additional flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Broth Options<\/strong>: If you're not making the homemade broth from the carcass, store-bought chicken broth or stock works well to create a rich and flavourful base for your soup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rice Variations<\/strong>: Long grain rice is a great choice, but you can swap it for brown rice or quinoa for a different texture and added nutritional benefits. Just be mindful of cooking times, as they may vary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Finishing Touches<\/strong>: For added creaminess, stir in a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of sour cream before serving. Alternatively, a squeeze of lime juice can brighten the flavours and add a refreshing twist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to mix and match these variations to create a soup that suits your taste!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1714\" data-pin-description=\"This Chicken, Bean, and Rice Soup is a fantastic way to repurpose leftover roast chicken, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

The bones, skin, and any remaining meat infuse the broth with rich, savoury notes that store-bought stock cubes etc simply can't match. As the carcass simmers, it releases gelatin, collagen, and minerals, resulting in a silky, nutrient-dense base for your soup. To make the broth, place the carcass in a pot with chopped onions, carrots, garlic, and fresh herbs. Cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for several hours to develop a deep flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While making homemade broth does require some time, the incredible depth of flavour and health benefits it brings to your dish make it worth the effort. It's an excellent way to minimise waste and make the most of your roast chicken, ensuring your chicken and bean rice soup is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"more-low-calorie-soups\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Low Calorie Soups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Love soup recipes?

the Soup Base<\/strong>: Spray a large pot with olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and garlic, and saut&eacute; for a few minutes until softened. Break up the chicken carcass and add it to the pot.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"1\" id=\"mv_create_881_2\"><strong>Add Liquid and Simmer<\/strong>: Cover the ingredients with 2 litres of water and season well with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for approximately 1 to 1&frac12; hours. (If you don&rsquo;t have a chicken carcass, you can use 2 litres of chicken stock instead - made usiing bouillion, stock cubes or cartoned broth).<\/li><li data-step-index=\"2\" id=\"mv_create_881_3\"><strong>Strain the Broth<\/strong>: Once the broth has simmered, drain the soup base through a sieve, reserving just the liquid\/stock. Set aside the broth.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"3\" id=\"mv_create_881_4\"><strong>Cook the Vegetables<\/strong>: Clean the pot and spray it with olive oil spray. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and red pepper, and saut&eacute; for about 5 minutes until softened.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"4\" id=\"mv_create_881_5\"><strong>Combine Ingredients<\/strong>: Add the peeled and chopped tomatoes, mixed beans, and spices to the pot, stirring to coat everything evenly.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"5\" id=\"mv_create_881_6\"><strong>Bring to a Boil<\/strong>: Pour in the reserved stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. (If you prefer a thicker soup, you can ladle some of the soup and blend it at this stage to achieve your desired consistency.)<\/li><li data-step-index=\"6\" id=\"mv_create_881_7\"><strong>Add Rice and Chicken<\/strong>: Stir in the uncooked rice and any leftover cooked chicken. Continue to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.<\/li><li data-step-index=\"7\" id=\"mv_create_881_8\"><strong>Final Touches<\/strong>: Stir in some freshly chopped coriander and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"mv-create-notes mv-create-notes-slot-v2\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"mv-create-notes-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Notes<\/h3>\n\t\t<div class=\"mv-create-notes-content\">\n\t\t\t<p><h4><strong>Please see below for full nutritional info and additional details about recipe:<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li><strong>Calories - <\/strong>scroll down to nutritional info box<\/li><li><strong>WW Points and other Slimming or Weight Loss programs - <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0due to plans regularly changing and updating, we recommend calculating with the official tools you get as a member to those plans to ensure accuracy of values.\u00a0<\/li><li>\u2744\ufe0f <strong>Freezer Friendly<\/strong> - see FAQ<\/li><\/ul><h4><strong>Please do not copy or paste full recipes or post screenshots of any content from Slimming Eats to any social media or website, as it is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/h4><h4><strong>All images and content on Slimming Eats are copyright protected.<\/strong><\/h4><p>If you wish to share this recipe, then please do so by using the share buttons provided at top of this post.<\/p><p>Nutritional information etc are an estimate and are to be used for informational purposes only.
