0:00
- Y'all know we have had some crazy,
0:03
crazy cold weather throughout our country.
0:11
So this may taste mighty good to y'all
0:15
when we have cold snaps coming through.
0:19
Or you can cut down your air conditioner low enough
0:22
that you think it's cold. (laughs)
0:25
You think it's cold outside,
0:27
then this soup is going to taste mighty good.
0:30
And it's a very easy lemon chicken soup.
0:37
And I have just used a roaster
0:43
from the grocery store because I have company coming in
0:48
to be in the kitchen all afternoon making this.
0:52
So I've got fresh carrots,
0:57
fresh onions, lemon juice, water,
1:00
chicken stock, my chicken.
1:03
And I have got some wonderful, wonderful rice.
1:11
Now I love, I always use long grain,
1:16
but I love jasmine rice.
1:18
- That is jasmine. - Good.
1:19
Theresa just told me this was jasmine.
1:21
I don't think the recipe- - It doesn't specify.
1:24
- Doesn't specify jasmine,
1:27
but that's our personal preference.
1:29
So I got a couple of tablespoons
1:32
of olive oil in our pot and I'm gonna throw in our onions
1:38
and I'm gonna let them cook for about four minutes,
1:50
Okie doke, it's been probably five or six minutes.
1:55
that the carrots are cut in a like a moon shape.
1:59
And that's good because it'll fit on your spoon, good.
2:04
If you didn't do that,
2:05
it might be a little bundle to eat.
2:12
All right, now I'm gonna pour in our stock,
2:21
if you got homemade stock,
2:23
which I love to freeze my stocks,
2:27
whether it's shrimp or chicken
2:28
or you know, whatever.
2:31
All right, now I've got about a fourth of a cup
2:37
and I've got two cups of water.
2:41
So I'm gonna bring this back to a boil
2:51
and then I'm going to add our rice,
2:56
and then I'm gonna cover this
2:59
and turn it on to a simmer
3:02
so our rice can get done.
3:04
And then we're gonna put in our chicken,
3:06
and then we're going to put our spoon in it.
3:11
I think you're gonna like this one.
3:13
While I'm waiting on our soup to come to a full boil,
3:18
I just got to share with y'all
3:19
that this is my son Jamie Deen's recipe
3:24
and it's in his book, "Good Food."
3:28
You know, my kids have always,
3:31
mine and Michael's children have always,
3:34
you know, tried to cook healthy for their children.
3:38
And this is one of those quick, easy meals
3:43
that you can get together.
3:44
In fact, if you got leftover chicken
3:46
from the night before,
3:48
that'd make a wonderful pot of quick soup.
3:52
I'm gonna add a little fresh ground black pepper,
3:57
not too much, and a little salt.
4:02
And I'm going to go light on that
4:06
because my stock probably had enough salt
4:09
in it to do the trick.
4:11
So now I'm gonna add a half a cup of jasmine rice.
4:17
And I think jasmine might be Jamie's favorite rice,
4:21
although he didn't specify in this recipe.
4:24
All right, so everything's in the pot
4:26
Now, our chicken is already done,
4:29
so I'll put that in at the last minute,
4:31
like Jamie has instructed
4:33
and just heat it through and then it's ready to eat.
4:37
All right, so we're gonna put this on a simmer,
4:46
and the rice should be nice and done.
4:48
And our carrots and onions should be totally cooked too.
4:55
All right, I got some beautiful fresh parsley here.
5:00
Our soup is ready, so I just need to taste it
5:11
All right, so Jamie tells me
5:13
to just chop some fresh parsley.
5:17
And this smells so good,
5:19
so earthy and natural.
5:25
So we just going to throw this on top of our soup.
5:38
Oh, those carrots are so pretty in there.
5:40
The color is so pretty.
5:42
Now what did I do with our chicken? (laughs)
5:46
- [Assistant] It's right there.
5:59
- Okay, so we're going to add our chicken
6:04
and let that just get hot
6:09
Look at that beautiful pot of soup.
6:12
Son, that looks so good.
6:17
All right, now I'm going
6:18
to give it a quick taste to see
6:39
It's delicious and it's real lemony,
6:50
I think I'm gonna add a little bit more pepper,
7:00
and a little bit more salt.
7:12
And we have a beautiful, beautiful pot
7:17
of lemony chicken soup with jasmine rice.
7:25
This is what the doctor ordered today.
7:28
You know how some days you just feel
7:34
like you don't feel quite right,
7:36
you just feel like you need something good
7:42
and kind of healthy tasting.
7:52
I think this is just what the doctor ordered, y'all.
7:58
And you can see there's no fat, no fat at all
8:21
Like I said, it's real, real lemony.
8:28
I think Jamie said the juice of two lemons.
8:33
So if you're not crazy-crazy over lemon flavor,
8:37
you know, then just slowly add it,
8:41
add the juice of one lemon, and then taste it
8:45
and see what you think.
8:50
All this needs is a piece of French bread, son. (laughs)
9:04
So my thanks goes out to Jamie
9:06
