45 Comments

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!

  2. 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

  15. ‘Tis the season for soup – starting yesterday! What in the world happened to our summery temps and we had snow (you likely too). Perfect to hunker down with a bowl of soup.

    • I wouldn’t change a thing in the recipe, it was that good. Sometimes when I create a new recipe I have to play around with the ingredients but not this one. Thank you Saania. 💕
