Step 1
Place oil and butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook for 5 minutes until onion is translucent.
Step 2
Add carrots and celery, stir for 1 minute.
Step 3
Add stock powder, dried parsley, thyme (if using), pepper, chicken broth, water. Stir, then add chicken.
Step 4
Cover with lid, simmer on medium low for 30 minutes. Adjust heat so it's bubbling a nice amount, but not crazy energetically or super slowly. Skim off excess foam build up once or twice (not critical, just makes broth clearer).
Step 5
Remove lid, add rice. Stir, cover, simmer 15 minutes.
Step 6
Remove soup from stove.
Step 7
Remove chicken into large bowl. Shred with 2 forks, discard bones then stir into soup.
Step 8
Stir in half the parsley, taste for salt and add if required. Serve, then garnish with extra parsley.
