How To Make Chicken Stock or Broth In Easy Way:

I love making my own vegetable broth or chicken broth or chicken stock. That is why I am also sharing the recipe of chicken stock and vegetable stock but in this recipe, you can see totally different stock.  It’s all about using up the scraps of vegetables you have laying around and cooking it with chicken, some herbs, and water.

It is depending on your choice.

How To Make Chicken Lemon Rice Soup Pakistani Food Recipe Step By Step Instructions:

Now that you know how to make the broth, the actual chicken lemon rice soup is easy peasy. Start by cooking the chopped onions, carrots, and celery along with garlic and any herbs you’d like (I love using thyme or oregano).

So, making the broth wasn’t all that pretty since we used vegetable scraps. But now we can chop the vegetables finely (and nicely!) because we’ll actually be eating these. Then add the shredded chicken from making the homemade chicken broth.

You can also use leftover chicken here. And add the short-grain rice. Now you’ll add the broth that you made (or store-bought broth) and let everything cook together. The goal is for the rice to get tender and fluffy. That’s how you’ll know the chicken soup is ready.
