This cozy pot of soup builds its flavor the slow way, starting with leeks, fennel, carrots, and celery softened together until they turn sweet and translucent. A hit of ground ginger wakes everything up before low-sodium chicken broth goes in for a long, gentle simmer with whole chicken breasts poached right in the pot. Rinsed long-grain rice cooks directly in that broth, soaking up all the vegetable flavor while the chicken gets shredded into tender, bite-sized pieces. Fresh parsley and dill scattered over each bowl add a bright, herby finish that keeps the whole thing tasting fresh rather than heavy. It's a comforting, ladle-it-up kind of soup, and it fits neatly into an added salt–conscious kitchen without losing any of that classic, restorative flavor.
