-- RECIPE --
▪Olive oil
▪600g (2 10oz bags) frozen precut mirepoix mix (carrot, onion, celery)
▪3g or 1tsp garlic powder
▪2g or 1tsp black pepper
▪1-2g or 1tsp dried oregano
▪75g or 1/4c chicken better than bouillon
▪2 900g/32oz boxes chicken stock (1800g/64oz total)
▪150g or 1 1/3c orzo (sub frozen rice for GF or even broken down ramen noodles)
▪150g or 3-4 large swiss chard leaves, chopped (or other leafy green of choice)
▪450g/1lb rotisserie chicken meat (or baked chicken thighs), chopped
▪2-3g or 1tsp turmeric
▪150g or 1 1/4c frozen peas


Add generous squeeze of olive oil into a large preheated heavy bottomed pot over high heat followed by mirepoix. Stir and cook for 1-2 mins until thawed and starting to soften.

Add garlic powder, pepper, and oregano (feel free to eyeball it). Stir and fry for about a minute until fragrant. Stir in chicken bouillon paste. Stir in chicken stock. Add orzo (if subbing for frozen rice wait to add until later). Bring soup to a simmer.

About 4-5 minutes from when orzo/pasta is done cooking, stir chard/greens. Reduce heat to medium/med-low and cook until greens are tender and orzo is cooked to al dente.

Stir in turmeric, frozen peas, and chopped chicken just to heat through. If using frozen or pre-cooked rice, add it during this step. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt if needed. I usually add a large pinch of salt or 2 at this step. Be sure to stir salt in well to dissolve before adding more.

Garnish with black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and fresh dill if you have it.

IF USING CHICKEN THIGHS:
Salt boneless, skinless thighs and lay out on a sheet tray. Bake at 450F/230C for 13-15 min.

    I love the idea of a Speed Scratch series! It would be awesome to have some easy but good recipes for those days you don’t feel 100%, love it!
  • Great video, please make more of these speed scratch videos, they would be super helpful for people like me who don't have a lot of time to cook
  • Made quickly, with great flavour, and minimal skill?! Now you're speaking my language!
  • Deodorant application in the kitchen is something I never expected to see on FoodTube
  • Hey Brian As a person who is responsible for probably 99% of the cooking done in my household because my dear partner (god bless her) did not grow up in a family that really cooked and thus never learned herself I just came home to her making this soup And it’s possibly the most perfect chicken soup I’ve ever had Probably better than any I’ve ever made So 1. THANK YOU And 2. I am humbly requesting more speed scratch because it is AWESOME having someone you love cook for you hahaha Thanks Brian (and Lauren) for all that you do I’m about to go get another bowl…
  • Yes, you added lemon juice! I LOVE chicken soup with lemon juice, it's delicious. Also I love this speed scratch thing. Ideally I'd cook everything from scratch, but I'm chronically ill with serious fatigue, so spending hours cooking dinner just isn't possible for me, even on my best days. I would absolutely love to see more speed scratch recipes.
  • @DanieVargas
    Your timing is IMPECCABLE!! Hubby is feeling like death warmed over and has asked me to make him some chicken NOODLE soup!! Think I’ll sub out the orzo for egg noodles and THAT will be the only alteration I’m gonna make!!
  • @venombeyond
    Love all your videos Brian, but I gotta say I LOVE the idea of Speed Scratch. I do these sorts of things at home too, often! A mix of home made and premade. It's a time saver but also adds really good flavor, texture and everything else to the dishes I make. I'd love to see more of this series!
  • @tridsonline
    👍🏻 love the idea of Speed Scratch! While looking after my dad before he died, every minute was precious so my amateur version of Speed Scratch was to poach a whole chicken, yielding stock for several portions of soup, along with tender chicken for a variety of dishes .. all ready in 10 minutes once the poaching was achieved. Another go-to was to make a cabbage soup yielding several portions, each of which could be customised within 10 minutes by fortifying with pre-cooked chicken, frozen fish, beans, diced bacon, or seaweed (wakami or kombu). Maintaining variety, the spice of life!
  • @frankzito8653
    I teach Pilates in LA and I currently have THREE clients who are sick with cold viruses. I'm making this, batching it up, and delivering to them tonight!! Nutrition plus client retention! Thanks Bry!
  • @amorpaz1
    My wife is sick - perfect timing, Bri! Also, this looks great, is super easy and yes - more speed scratch recipes/ideas, please!
  • Whole fam is sick this weekend. Just came back to this video and had most of the ingredients. Grabbed a chicken from the corner store, grabbed some fresh rolls from their bakery, subbed frozen spinach, and had a delicious, healthy, and healing meal in under 20 minutes. Thanks, Bri. Great idea and made life a lot easier for this sick Papa Bear.
  • @slanahesh
    Yes keep the speed scratch coming. A great addition to the weeknighting recipes.
  • You are fantastic at knowing your audience. Complex recipes delivered simply for the adventurous types, Weeknighting vids that are pretty low effort for the relatively confident cooks and beginners alike, and now speed scratch for when you want something and you want it now. This is what makes you king.
  • @karenfox1671
    This is so helpful. I would really appreciate more speed scratch advice. The work you do creating flavour combinations and imparting tips is truly where you shine. What a lovely, vibrant bowl of soup! Go easy Bri, we all get sick after such loss. XO
  • @mightyn8
    Loved the video, Bri! I'd love to see more of these speed scratch videos. As a neurodivergent person with executive dysfunction, it's hard to get myself to cook things even if I love them. But if they're easy and quick without much prep needed, I've found that I can cook more consistently for myself. This speed scratch chicken soup is absolutely going into my repertoire!
  • @rosejustice
    Speed scratch is a great theme and would love to see more of it. BTW, currently have 3 jars of Better Than Bullion in my fridge. Stuff is amazeballs!
  • I always love these "once around the kitchen" recipes, tasty and fast. Keep up the good work, Brian!
  • Love that you took a tough situation and flipped it into a fabulous idea! That soup looks amazing...can't wait to try it!! Thanks Bri.
