Recipe Introduction


Made from brown rice and a small amount of whole-grain millet (a protein-rich grain), the spirals are suitable for a gluten-free diet. The nurturing soup benefits from the sweetness of parsnips and carrots and the aroma of cloves.





List of Ingredients



• 6 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 3 tablespoons very finely chopped leaves for sprinkling
  
• 2 bay leaves
  
• 6 whole cloves
  
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  
• 1 whole chicken (4 1/4 pounds), skin and fat removed, quartered
  
• 1 medium onion (about 6 ounces), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  
• 5 celery stalks (about 12 ounces), cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces
  
• 4 garlic cloves, sliced
  
• 7 1/4 cups homemade or low-sodium, gluten-free store-bought chicken stock
  
• 2 medium parsnips (about 8 ounces), peeled and cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces
  
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  
• 3 medium carrots (about 8 ounces), peeled, cut on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces
  
• 8.8 ounces brown rice–millet rotini
  
• 1 scallion, white and pale-green parts only, very thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
  
• Freshly ground pepper
  






Instructions



1. Make a bouquet garni: Put the parsley sprigs, bay leaves, cloves, and peppercorns on a piece of cheesecloth; tie into a bundle with kitchen twine.
   
2. Put bouquet garni, chicken, onion, celery, garlic, and stock into a large stockpot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer chicken to a large bowl; let cool slightly. Remove meat from bones, and cut into small pieces; set aside.
   
3. Add parsnips to pot, and cook until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in 5 cups water and the salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in carrots, pasta, and reserved chicken. Cook until carrots are tender and pasta is al dente, 7 to 10 minutes. Discard bouquet garni. Ladle soup into 6 bowls, dividing evenly. Sprinkle each with chopped parsley and scallion, dividing evenly; season with pepper.
