For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of drumsticks. Be sure to remove the skin before shredding the chicken. Feel free to substitute your favorite vegetables or use what you have on hand. Zucchini, green beans, or spinach would all be delicious additions. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed, but the fresh dill really makes the soup special. To make this soup vegetarian, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas or white beans for protein.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPlace the onion and chicken in a large pot with enough cold water to cover. Season with salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the chicken meat is easily removed from the bone. Remove chicken from the pot, reserving the flavorful broth. Discard the onion. Shred the chicken meat and return it to the pot. Discard the bones. (Total time: 35 minutes)
02
StepAdd the cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, baby carrots, and asparagus to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth. Season with garlic powder and salt-free seasoning blend. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld. (Total time: 45 minutes)
03
StepStir in the rice. Continue cooking for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed some of the broth, thickening the soup slightly. Mix the fresh dill into the soup 5 minutes before serving, to preserve its bright, herbaceous flavor. (Total time: 25 minutes)
