1 2-inch strip lemon peel

If the soup is to be made ahead, add the rice just before serving to prevent it from overcooking.

In saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat; cook leeks, covered, for about 5 minutes or until softened. Add chicken; cook over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 4 minutes or until chicken in no longer pink inside.

Stir in stock, rice, lemon peel and bay leaf.
