The Story of the Chicken & Rice
At Point Nine, we believe that some things don’t need a fancy makeover—they just need to be done right. Our Chicken & Rice Soup is the ultimate testament to that philosophy. It was designed to be the dish you crave when you need a little “reset.” Whether you’re feeling under the weather, hiding from a Kansas thunderstorm, or just want a lunch that feels like it came straight from Grandma’s kitchen, this is the bowl for you.
The Craft: Broth from Scratch
The secret to a truly great chicken soup is the broth, and we don’t take any shortcuts. We simmer our house-made stock with succulent chicken thighs to ensure the meat stays tender and flavorful. By using thick-cut carrots, celery, and onions, we create a rustic texture that feels substantial. The rice is added at just the right moment to ensure it’s perfectly tender, absorbing all that rich, savory flavor without becoming soft. It’s simple, honest cooking at its best.
The Point Nine Experience: Rainy Days & Quiet Lunches
This soup is a weekday hero. It’s a favorite for our “working lunch” crowd in Andover who need something quick and nutritious that won’t lead to a mid-afternoon food coma. It’s also the perfect companion for a quiet afternoon at the bar; grab a bowl, a glass of Pinot Grigio, and watch the world go by through our trailside windows. Because it’s naturally Gluten-Free (GF), it’s a worry-free comfort food option for everyone in the family.
