    German Baptist Homemade Chicken Rice Soup

    Published: Mar 4, 2015 · Updated: Aug 31, 2018 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    This is a recipe for a delicious soup given to me by a German Baptist cook .  For newbies here, the German Baptists are a Plain church. Members dress much like the Amish and Mennonites, but embrace more progressive amenities like cars and media.  Their cooking style draws heavily upon scratch-made and traditional ways, much like the Amish.  Homemade soups like this one are very popular at German Baptist gatherings and kitchens.  This is a recipe a German Baptist cook once gave me.  Enjoy!Oldordergermanbaptists 047 She told me that the celery seed, bay leaves and fresh garlic are the "secrets" to this soup's success.  So be sure not to skimp on the quality of those ingredients.  This was a tasty soup!
