FAQ Section
1. Can I use brown rice instead of white rice?
Yes, you can substitute brown rice, but keep in mind it will need a longer cooking time. To prevent overcooking the other ingredients, cook the brown rice separately and add it during the last hour.
2. Can I make this soup on the stovetop?
Absolutely! Follow the same steps, but cook everything in a large pot on the stovetop. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the rice is tender.
3. How can I adjust the level of lemon flavor?
The lemon flavor can be adjusted to your taste. If you prefer a milder flavor, start with half the amount of lemon juice, taste, and add more if desired. The zest adds brightness without acidity, so feel free to add as much or as little as you like.
4. Can I use pre-cooked or canned chicken?
Yes, if you’re in a pinch, pre-cooked or canned chicken can work well. Just add it during the last hour of slow cooking so it has time to absorb the soup’s flavors without becoming overcooked.
