Creamy Ham, Rice & Vegetable Soup
A hearty and creamy vegetable soup with ham and rice that is a complete meal and perfect with the chill of the autumn air. Made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.
In a large pot add the water, chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, Adobo seasoning and pepper.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the rice and stir. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 15 more minutes or until the vegetables and rice are cooked to your liking.
Make a roux, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.
Slowly add the flour, a spoonful at a time and whisking constantly.
Cooking until the roux is a light brown and smells nutty.
Slowly whisk in the cream, stirring constantly until smooth.
Keep whisking until thick and hot then remove from the heat.
Slowly whisk the roux into the soup so no lumps form.
Add the ham and cook until thickened and hot, stirring constantly.
Then serve!

Looking good – well presented
Thank you for your kind words Derrick.
Hmm, I like that you add rice to this soup … yep, nothing wrong with this soup!
It was nice for a different texture and it tasted good too. Thank you Corna!
Hearty soups are what you need at this time of year
It is the start of our cold weather cooking. I love this time of the year.
Yup soup season is here ! We don’t make soups usually in the summer but this is the best time to start and make them all winter long. 🙂
I love smelling the soup when it’s cold outside and hearing my hubby say “That smells so good, when do we eat?” Lol
Yes ! Me too and homemade bread 🙂
Or a homemade bread bowl! 🤣
Oh, that sounds so good for this season! I’m sure it’s delicious with all that cream! (And saturated fats are OK now. Don’t you just love it how the “approved” list of foods changes regularly?)
I think back when I was a kid and margarine was the best thing to eat, yuck! Nothing but butter for me and of course cream. Lol
I just commented, but WordPress didn’t ask me who I was, so I don’t know if it got through with my name on it. Sometimes WordPress recognizes me and sometimes it doesn’t.🤪
That’s OK they wouldn’t let me answer any comments on reader. Then somebody said they couldn’t like my post either. Also, they have deleted over 3,000 followers and continue to on an average of one every day. All this started in August and in blogging for over 7 years I have never lost followers except a few here and there. I pay for a business site because of all my pictures and this really irritates me. Even my likes and comments have decreased by half. I used to be able to just cover the cost for my site and now I don’t. 😡 If I knew how to do it I would go with a different one.
Looks yummy as the air chills … at least for a few days anyway. 🙂
We still need to have an Indian Summer!
Yes, I wonder when that will happen – we have the 80s tomorrow and Wednesday with 35 to 40 mph winds. Ooh scary for Halloween, but scary for wind damage too!
It’s that wind that causes so much damage.
Yes, it is pretty strong out there now – I may have to cover my slate “Welcome” sign tomorrow. I forgot to do it when I did my other Fall things as I did them in bits and pieces. That sign is on some twisted telephone wire and my neighbor put an anchor screw in the wall – it has to be about 1985 he did that. So every year I put a padded envelope on it for the Winter months.
That sounds nice!
It was very warm, but windy. I covered my slate sign – takes about 45 minutes to keep it airtight so no snow or rain gets in and makes mold on the back of the slate, nor ruins the colors. Probably Jeff appreciated it as it was rattling up a storm. Marge’s bedroom was across from the slate sign … she once nicely (but firmly) called my mom and said “could Linda do something about the sign rattling against the brick wall when it’s windy – it keeps me awake?” I put bumper guards on the back, but in wind like this, it really goes to town.
Poor Marge but at least she asked nicely! I’m surprised it didn’t crack with high winds. Maybe your neighbor could put a bumper on her dog’s bark!
We were kind of surprised she said that to be honest. I was thinking about getting one of those big wind chimes for that side of the house next year, by the bedroom window. She has a small wind chime near her front door, but I was thinking a cow bell type.
🤣😂🤣
This looks delicious! Your Potato Ham soup I saved a long time ago is one of my go-to soup recipes. I think this one may be another. Thanks, Diane!
Thank you so much Patty.
My hubby made a very similar soup recently, minus the rice and adobo seasoning. It was delicious. The sliced ham adds so much flavour! Your soup looks yummy too!
You both cook, score! Thank you Ab!
This looks like it would SO hit the spot on a cool fall day, or with the leftover holiday ham.
I always make it with leftover ham. I even freeze the leftover ham and make this later. Thank you Betsy!
