Method
- Put the chicken, onion, carrot, garlic, bay leaf (if using) and rice into a large saucepan. Pour over the stock and bring to a simmer over a medium heat. Gently simmer for 25 mins (occasionally skimming any brown fat off the top) until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is just about tender.
- Remove the chicken and bay leaf to a plate and use two forks to shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Discard the bones and bay and stir the meat back into the soup with the kale and spinach. Cook over a gentle heat for 2 mins until the greens are tender. Season well with black pepper and serve with crusty bread, if you like.
