Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 medium parsnip, cored and finely chopped
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 dash kosher salt, to taste
1 dash freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 sprigs dill, plus 1/2 cup finely chopped dill (and optional fronds for garnish)
3 to 4 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
2 quarts chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs and breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon MSG, plus more to taste

1
Heat the oil in a 4-quart stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, parsnip, and onion, and cook until slightly softened but not browned, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Using kitchen twine, tie the dill sprigs, thyme sprigs, and the bay leaf together into a little bundle and add to the pot, along with the chicken broth, 1 cup water, and chicken pieces.
2
Partly cover and bring to a simmer; cook, skimming occasionally, until broth is slightly reduced and chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the herb bundle. Add the rice, stir, cover, and cook 15 minutes more.
3
Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the finely chopped dill, lemon juice, and MSG, adding more lemon and MSG to taste.
