    When you don't feel good, or even when you do, our Thai Mom's Easy Comforting Chicken and Rice Soup Recipe, will quickly warm you up.

    Background content: This is a popular dish in Thailand year-round. It's the theme recipe of bad days when you need comfort or when you are sick.

    This was inspired by Mod's chicken and brown rice soup on this site, which was inspired by this recipe lol. It was one of Mod's first recipes on this site, as the thing she missed from home in Thailand.

    • Food safety
    • To try, if you like this recipe:

    Ingredients

    The ingredients are pretty straightforward and easy to find, even in Western-style, grocery stores.

    • Brown, and/or, long-grain rice
    • Minced chicken breast
    • Crushed garlic
    • Ground pepper
    • Low-sodium soy sauce
    • Canola oil
    • Scallion
    • Coriander
    • Salt or salt substitute

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Mix chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon of ground pepper, mix in well and set aside.

    Rinse and strain the rice and boil with 4 cups of water.

    Stir-fry the garlic and remove about half of it and set aside.

    Lastly, add in the chicken, cilantro, and fried garlic topping.

    Stir-fry the ground chicken with the rest of the garlic until cooked through.

    Serve with cilantro, fried garlic, and chopped green onion as toppings on the side, and enjoy!

    Hint: Sangarun said, you really want to make sure the wok is hot before cooking the garlic and chicken. She always likes to use a wok, Here is our choice of Carbon Steel Wok and Stir-fry kit on amazon, if you need stir-fry cooking supplies.

    Substitutions

    If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don't fake it - only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

    • Rice- instead of white rice, always try to find whole or long-grain rice. If you have irritable bowel syndrome, maybe a short grain is easier on your gut.
    • Garnish - you can use fresh green onion and scallions if you don't want to do the fried onion she uses to cut down on fats.
    • Vegetarian - a meat replacement works fine with this recipe. Just be careful to watch cooking times, depending on the type you use. Ground beyond beef, or something similar, decreases your carbon output and saturated fat a little if that's your style.

    You can use your imagination and if you come up with something helpful, I'll add it to the options if you can tell me what you did in the comments.

    Variations

    We like to serve with options on the table, so everyone can adjust to their liking.

    • Spicy - add chili pepper flakes while cooking to imbue heat into the dish, or fresh Thai peppers
    Homemade Thai Chili Flakes-Powder Recipe (พริกป่น) Prik Bon
    • Deluxe - add more optional ingredients like Thai basil, sliced cherry tomatoes, and bacon bits.
    • Kid friendly - add healthy crushed potato chips, and serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.

    Equipment

    Sangarun likes to always use a wok. If you have an electric cooktop as we do, you can also use a skillet, for more contact with the heating element. We use a high-quality 20-inch skillet with a lid, like this one from Amazon.

    Storage

    Good for 2-3 days in the fridge. These ingredients do stand up well to freezing for a couple of months at least.

    Top tip

    Let your chicken marinate a little longer in the salt and soy sauce if you are planning ahead. Also, if you like spicy, be sensitive to your peeps, leave the spice on the side and let them decide.

    Notes

    If you have specific dietary concerns when in doubt, check it out, with an appropriate healthcare professional.  We are not dieticians or doctors, just people trying to eat healthy and delicious, with the flavors of Thailand.  When it comes to freshness, when in doubt throw it out, is also an easy to remember safety motto.  The smell test can't be understated and don't risk it if there's a doubt.

    Food safety

    We sometimes take for a granted that we have years (or decades) of cooking experience, that the average visitor may not. Add to, or remove from, the list below with health and safety tips.

    • Cook to a minimum temperature of 165 °F (74 °C)
    • Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw meat
    • Wash hands after touching raw meat
    • Don't leave food sitting out at room temperature for extended periods
    • Never leave cooking food unattended
    • Use oils with high smoking point to avoid harmful compounds
    • Always have good ventilation when using a gas stove

    See more guidelines at USDA.gov.
