Portuguese chicken soup

Made the Hairy Bikers piri piri chicken for supper on Monday. Two further meals from it, a chicken and salad wrap and this Portuguese chicken soup.

Portuguese chicken soup
Make stock from carcass of chicken (the piri piri one adds an extra flavour). You need 1 pint.
Finely chop 1 red onion and gently fry in a small amount of oil until translucent. Add a crushed clove of garlic towards the end. Add the stock and 2 oz rice. Bring to rapid boil then cover tightly and turn off heat (or simmer until rice is cooked if you prefer that method). 5 minutes before serving add up to 8 oz shredded cooked chicken and juice of half a lemon. Heat through. Season to taste. I included a couple of dashes of tobasco.

The traditional recipes I found all have chopped mint in them. One variant to try when the mint is growing again.
