Chop up the onion, garlic and carrots add to the pan

After an hour, pull out the chicken and let rest/cool for 10-20 min (can turn the head off on the soup here)

Season the soup to taste

Remove the skin and bones from the chicken and discard

Wash the rice, add to the soup then cook for 10 minutes (now is a good time to do the eggs)

Shred the chicken and once the rice is cooked add to the soup

The soup should be cloudy and watery
