Chicken Broth Bowl

Sometimes trends don’t make sense to me. Isn’t a “broth bowl” just another name for “soup”? Honestly, yes, but that doesn’t make this one pot Chicken Broth Bowl any less nourishing or satisfying! I focused on using the most basic of ingredients; everyone’s favorite pantry hero (rice), and a classic mirepoix really let the fresh herbs and flavorful chicken thighs shine. Not to mention, everything I chose is super-duper common and budget-friendly! Everyone can make this chicken brothy rice soup in no time at all. It’s the perfect meal after a brisk day.
This chicken broth bowl is a seriously cozy soup, and every bit as comforting as classic chicken noodle soup. I’ve been seeing broth bowls all over social media lately, and while the name feels trendy, my family LOVES this nourishing soup. The rice cooks right in the broth, so it soaks up the savory chicken flavor while naturally making the soup extra hearty and filling. I also love that it all comes together in one pot with really simple ingredients, and the fresh veg and herbs keep it tasting light, flavorful, and extra nourishing.
Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and adding it back to the pot helps it stay juicy, and any resting juices can go right back into the broth for even more flavor. This broth bowl is serious soul food that feels warm and homemade from the first spoonful. There are endless ways to make a broth bowl, and I’ve shared a few variations!
