The BEST Chicken & Rice Soup EVER

[@tonyz376]

My hacks: Made the broth using the carcass of the chicken with one bay leaf. Used 1 russet potato as well cuz why the hell not? Didn't have smoked turkey, so I added about 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning (didn't have Italian paste) to the veggies before deglazing with about 1/2 c white wine. Used 1 cup pearl rice. Great overall recipe.

[@sherylmoss642]

Love your recipes Thank you for the complete instructions also Big thank you for continuing to post the ingredients on this page it helps me greatly I suffered a stroke my brain doesn't always compute therefore its easier for me to see the recipe posted on your page Continued blessings ❤

[@loyalm2327]

I agree, I like that he post the instructions

[@LindaAlexander-x3s]

Ok, here's the result delicious. I made it the way you showed us. The only thingbi didn't add was the rice. I made on the side and let my family decide if rice or noodles. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your honesty in providing your recipe

[@NEWJERSEY2ATL]

I used to add cream of chicken soup. Thx for the flour suggestion as well as smoked turkey! Can’t wait to make it happen!

[@GodAndDrums]

This was HIGHKEY the best soup i made and now my wife ask about it all the time. Thanks!

[@shanetwogood7893]

I love the simplify of this recipe. Will definitely be adding this to my list of soups.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

thank you!

[@GrandmaPatty49]

Just looked up the spelling for onion, carrot and celery combo. Was surprised that it’s mirepoix! Since I didn’t take French in high school, I had no idea how to spell it!

[@missmeyon]

Made this soup for my mom today. Made it for the first time a month ago, when my wife had the flu. Very good, warm, and fulfilling.

[@1966Kibbles]

I love all your recipes! Whenever I go searching for something and come across tons...including yours, I always choose yours! I can tell by the ingredients you use that I will not need to add anything additional to make it tasty! I'm latina and need my flavors and I NEVER have to modify your recipes. Great Job!

[@voodoochile4147]

I knew Mrs. Make It Happen was over there eating well 😂 This would definitely get me better if I was sick. 🤒 Well done sir. #nomnomnom 😋

[@moniquefowler8711]

I tried this today, and let me.tell u. Delicious is not the word.. heart ❤️. Great recipe. Thanks🎉

[@sheenamonae9070]

I made it today, it was so delicious and flavorful. I'm just starting to get over a cold myself this was perfect. Thanks Matt.

[@ChiGalKMcAcura]

Stopped eating canned soup years ago. Nothing tastes as good as homemade if you know your way around your kitchen.

[@Wklsto]

That’s for sure. I make homemade soup all the time.

[@loyalm2327]

I stopped too. Meat in a can weirds me out, plus the amount of sodium and the long words in the ingredients I can’t pronounce.

[@francisishere9871]

No shit, really? Wow, never would have thought that

[@jszorc3488]

Take it easy KAREN!

[@Michelle-so2hz]

Right. Make my own soup. All the time

[@summers2156]

This looks delicious! My favorite soup.

[@kimberywatts]

I made this soup tonight and omg so much flavor. It’s definitely going in the repeat box.

[@squishymcsquisherson]

Haven't touched canned soup since I was in college. I'm 42. I beg y'all, take the time, make it yourself. It's not hard and it's 1000x better. ✌🏽

[@dawna.5949]

I just made this soup, and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you so much for the recipe! :)

[@laurabenson1278]

I love the smoked turkey idea... never would have thought of that. I'm going to pick up some of that to try. I love all your videos!

[@MrMakeItHappen]

so good!

[@nadas.5643]

Just made this recipe it's so yummy! I love soup so I was glad to find another recipe to add to my meals. I only had 1 piece of smoked turkey in hand but it still added so much flavor! Those rotisserie chickens come in handy! The only thing I left out was the heavy cream because I stay away from dairy if possible. Thank you for the way you explain in your videos! ❤❤❤❤

[@krystlefitzgerald2244]

This soup looks so delicious and savory 😋 Perfect for fighting a cold 👍

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Thank you! it was so good

[@rambette6580]

Oh my!!! I love smoked turkey and can just imagine the flavor it imparts!! Guess I'm going to the store today!

[@m.g.n4898]

Yeah, right. We all know stores carry smoked turkey wings. NOT!

[@rambette6580]

@m.g.n4898 It depends on where you are.

[@Renee-y1l]

@@m.g.n4898 it must be regional because every single grocery store in DC & Maryland within the Metro area all have turkey necks drumsticks, wings etc. & the pork equivalent. What area do you live in?

[@pugmom4life141]

This looks absolutely amazing. I’m definitely making it…. Love this channel

[@yvetteminor8142]

I am not a big soup eater, but this looks so good I'm going to make it. Thanks for sharing.

[@AngieBega-w1s]

That soup looks delicious😃 i love making homemade soup theres something special about putting your own ingredients in it not only tastes better but its also calming for me to put something good together and rewarding when it comes out delicious😃👍

[@MrMakeItHappen]

thank you!

[@shanamcdaniel586]

Tried it today because I had all the ingredients and it was delicious. I added a cup of water at the end to losen it some. DELICIOUS!!!!

[@MrMakeItHappen]

so good!

[@virgiekuck9226]

I think I’m in Love… with your recipes😂 this is the 3rd recipe I’ve tried & they were all fantastic!!!!

[@debrastyles8956]

I just sat down to eat this incredible soup. Mr. Make it Happen, you hit the nail on the head with this one. Yum, yum, 😊

[@girly.mimi00]

The soup looks delicious.

[@Mustgtcs07]

I love chicken and rice soup. Your recipe looks fantastic, gonna try this one. Thanks man!!!

[@annabland2615]

❤ The Homemade Cook Noodle Soup! Great nutrition food to cook and eat! Thank You 🙏🏽 for Chef Cooking!

[@Michelle-so2hz]

I’m definitely going to try this recipe. It looks delicious. I stopped making canned soup long time ago. I will leave a comment when I do make it.

[@Blackcop1724]

I will be making this soup this week

[@bovadagod]

Came out perfect the whole family loved it will make again! Thanks

[@yajairamejia5653]

I made this soup tonight and it was really good. Only thing was my smoked turkey legs were taking too long to tenderize and my broth was starting to dissappear. So, I just took them out and didn't bother shredding them. The soup still captured the smoked turkey flavor. Will definitely make again.

[@Renee-y1l]

You can add water to the evaporated broth because the seasoning/flavor does not evaporate with the water. It takes quite a while for smoked turkey necks, drumsticks, or wings to tenderize. You can also add extra water in the beginning to accommodate the water that will evaporate.

[@yajairamejia5653]

@Renee-y1l thank you!

[@javetteyoungblood1833]

Perfect soup weather

[@garyweightman5936]

Very considerate, Mr Make It Happen.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

thank you!

[@stephanieskeens727]

“BAD NEWS BEARS!” Amen! Homemade for the win! Looks 🔥! Easy and delicious… what else do u need?! Must try!

[@Yornoc11]

I made this tonight. So good! Just what I was craving.

[@Camie.in.Philly]

I guess great minds think alike. I wanted some homemade chicken soup last week and didn't have any chicken so the pack of regular and smoked turkey that I had. Best soup I've had in awhile.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

thank you!

[@ashleyshontay313]

Hmmm, grazing for meals ideas to prepare this week…wondering if I can follow the same steps, but minus the rice and make it into a pot pie! Looks delish. Thank you.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Just posted a pot pie recipe

[@alisharogers7053]

Made this last night and omg the flavors crazy... Only thing is once my rice cooked i didn't have much broth... But im making this again for sure

[@changeisgrowth3195]

Thank u 🙏🏾 I am soooooo trying this your the BEST I love bringing new to my dinner table with a twist

[@brendamorrow1644]

Looks Delicious much love ❤

[@gjgjkjgkji-pm9ic]

❤I love it , this just let my mouth watering❤I'm gonna make it right now ❤

[@kathysguidedlighttarot3418]

I make the soup and cook the rice on the side that prevent the rice from soaking up all the broth if you store it, you control hoe much rice you want in your doup

[@birdhead73]

That's a great idea. Thanks

[@yajairamejia5653]

Yes, although so good, that rice will soak up all the broth on the leftovers. But great if you think you won't have any.

[@ashdav9980]

Yes, I do the same thing so the rice doesn’t overcook and suck up all the juice. It doesn’t matter if you are going to eat it right away, but it’s the best method if you are making enough for leftovers. Nothing is worse than a soup with rice or pasta that becomes a casserole the next day because all the juice sucked into the grain. Leftover soup is a great meal, often more flavorful the next day!

[@pennykafai4645]

That looks a delicious soup for our cold wet UK weather we currently are having. Thanks for that now I guess I need to hunt for smoked Turkey not a staple ingredient here in UK.

[@Jimmy82102000]

I’m going to start making my soup this way going forward

[@jacquelinemcmanis194]

Made your recipe today, loved it!! I used more rice in mine though 😊

[@eleanorpitt8190]

Soup looks DELICIOUS and comforting

[@LisaH582]

We had your soup tonight for dinner and it was DELISH! Such good flavor. 5 stars!

[@myboo7046]

[@charleslyall4911]

[@mamashanshan2772]

Looking good! You gave me an idea with using smoked turkey, w/ wild rice, or dark rice, that would kick up a fabulous soup! Or you can share a recipe!!😉😄 I think that would be even better!!🤓

[@curedham2963]

You can use accent (msg it’s completely safe) in soups especially chicken based to drastically enhance the flavor.

[@mariaedwards1538]

Going to make this soup , smoke turkey gives everything flavor.

[@CandyVincent-r4s]

Love it you never know what you eating with processed food

[@soleilwhitton6397]

Definitely up for the smoked turkey but I have to watch my sodium. Can you make some recipes with reduced sodium ingredients?

[@lulajohns1883]

Soup is so incredibly easy to make. Most have the same basic ingredients

[@kaceythegreat]

Hope the wifey feels better soon ❤ Homemade soup is basically medicine ❤❤❤

[@timbo7188]

Crambells soup chem Juice . And might be chicken . No . Hey bud that what you did is top notch good . Throw in some san francisco sour dough With some chilled butter . I will make this . That smoked turkey Idea rocks .

[@MrMakeItHappen]

LOL thank you!

[@LindaAlexander-x3s]

Hi, I'm making the soup as I'm typing, it's smelling so good. I figure I have to cook smoke chicken couple hours then add chicken and cream is that correct please. Thank you

[@amen_ra6926]

That had to be the best episode ever 🤣😂😂😂. "That's an abomination." 🤣😂🤣😂 "That's awful." 🤣😂🤣😂 I wasn't into soups until about 10 years ago. I never went the canned route. I started making them from scratch from jump. My first was a creamy broccoli with coconut milk, then a split pea with andouille sausage. I want to take crack at Menudo and Posole at some point.

[@LindaAlexander-x3s]

Your funny, I'm going to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Thank you

[@pcoswellnessgroup]

New sub here! I love homemade chicken soup any day. My mom use to make it homemade so I’m now doing the same plus my kids love it.

[@divinelight8573]

I avoid canned food and cream, it is delicious too

[@DLB8417]

Does keeping the root in tact make if easier to dice the onion?

[@DaveS-r8h]

When I was younger, I once bought a can of Chunky's clam chowder - it was orange inside and full of uncooked potatoes. I was shocked.

[@GregSzarama]

You should smile more. Thanks for the great video.
