Today we share with you a recipe for a light rice soup with chicken and green peas. It's a perfect dish for those who want something hot, but not too heavy on the stomach. Rice in this recipe can be replaced with bulgur or thin vermicelli.

• chicken fillet - 1 pc.
• rice - 50 g
• potatoes - 3-4 pcs.
• carrots - 2 pcs.
• frozen peas - 0.5 cups
• vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
• salt, pepper - to taste
• herbs - to taste

1. Wash the potatoes and carrots, peel them, cut them into small cubes, and put them in a saucepan with boiling water.
2. Wash the chicken fillet, dry it with a towel, cut it into pieces, and fry it in a little oil until golden brown.
3. Rinse the rice well in cold running water: the better you rinse the rice, the more transparent the soup will be.
4. When the potatoes are half cooked, add the washed rice to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil, and cook for 7-10 minutes until the rice is tender.
5. Add frozen peas to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes. Then add the fried chicken and finely chopped herbs. Cover and let the soup brew for 10-15 minutes.
