Prepare all ingredients: Dice the chicken breast into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel and finely dice the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides. The chicken does not need to be cooked through at this stage.

Add the chicken broth, water, diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, add the rinsed white rice to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the rice is tender, the vegetables are soft, and the chicken is fully cooked.

Carefully taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. If serving to a toddler, ensure vegetables and chicken are very tender and can be easily mashed or chewed. You may wish to remove a portion for the toddler before adding extra salt or pepper for adults.

Ladle the warm soup into bowls and serve immediately. Enjoy this gentle and comforting meal!
