Thick Creamy Chicken & White Rice Soup

Thick, creamy and delicious! White rice, carrots, onions, celery and chicken in a thick and creamy soup.

Slice the carrots, celery and onion.

In a large pot over medium heat add
the water, chicken broth, carrots,
celery, onion, pepper and Adobo
seasoning. Bring to a boil and then
reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook
for 15 minutes. Add the rice, stir &
reduce heat to low. Cover and cook
for 15 minutes more.

Make a roux by melting the butter
over medium high heat. Slowly add
the flour, a spoonful at a time,
whisking constantly. When roux is
a golden brown and smells nutty
it is ready. Slowly whisk in the
heavy cream whisking constantly
until smooth, thick and hot.

Whisk the roux slowly into
the soup so no lumps form.

Add the chicken, stir and cook for
a few minutes, stirring constantly.
If the soup is too thick, add more
cream or chicken broth.

Then enjoy!

This looks amazing, Diane. I love soups, as you know, and this looks like a delicious recipe. I use a similar process to thicken the sauce when I make Fettucini. I actually think I can make this one! Thanks so much! Hugs, C
