Arroz Caldo

Arroz Caldo is a savory, flavorful Filipino rice porridge with chicken and a crispy garlic topping. Try this perfect comfort food tonight!

This flavorful Filipino soul food Soup Recipe is similar to American Chicken and Rice Soup, but with a much thicker consistency and richer depth of flavor. The warm, savory rice porridge, filled with tender chunks of chicken and topped with crispy garlic chips, is ready in only an hour too!

A comforting bowl of Arroz Caldo is a staple food in the Philippines. It’s a chicken rice congee. Congee is like a rice porridge, common in Asian cooking. But, unlike Rice Pudding, which you might be used to, this is a main dish and not a dessert. Basically this classic comfort food dish is like a Filipino Chicken and Rice Soup, but with a consistency similar to rice porridge.

The rice and chicken porridge is the ultimate cold weather comfort food dish to enjoy on cool weather days with some sweet Hawaiian Bread. There’s nothing like a bowl of soup to get you feeling warm. In the Philippines, Chicken Arroz Caldo is also a common breakfast dish. The filling and protein-rich dish is sure to keep you satisfied through the day.
