Johanna Reiter’s Chicken Rice Soup, by Lisa Fricker

The weather is turning cooler now and it just got me thinking about soup.  I went to my trusty MAHLZEIT U.G.H. Cookbook and right on page seven was one of my favorite soups.

I have made this soup a few times now.  Huhn Reissuppe, Chicken Rice Soup, it is a Johanna Reiter specialty.  Doesn’t take long to make probably about a half hour.  

I thought I had all of the ingredients plus some freshly roasted chicken that I cooked the day before to add to it.  It was delicious you should try it!! In case you don’t have the cookbook, here is the Recipe.

​​​​Chicken Rice Soup

  • 8 cups chicken stock​​​​​
  • 1 Cup Cauliflower, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. oil
  • ​​​​​​​¾ cup rice, uncooked
  • ¼ cup parsley​​​​​​
  • 1 Cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup onion​​​​​​ 
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ¾ cup carrots, chopped

Sauté onion in oil in a large soup pot.  Add carrots, cauliflower and rice.

Sauté for 5 minutes.  Add the chicken stock and simmer 20 minutes.

Mix egg yolk and cream, add to soup.  Don’t let soup boil or cream with curdle.  Makes about 6 servings.

(I used frozen cauliflower, and it worked fine, also didn’t have heavy cream so I used ½ milk and ½ half and half and it worked fine too) Sometimes you just have to go with what you got!
