Cream of chicken and wild rice soup Serves: 6-8Yield 1.0 pot of ...Units: US | Metric | |
6 cups | chicken broth |
2 | chicken breast halves, (cooked, boneless and cubed) |
1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice blend , quick cooking version (You will use the seasoning packet. I used Uncle Bens roasted chicken flavor) | |
½ teaspoon | ground black pepper |
½ cup | all-purpose flour |
¾ cup | butter, (12 tbsp. or a stick and a half) |
1 cup | carrot, diced |
1 cup | celery, diced |
1 cup | onion, diced |
3 cups | light cream, (can lighten by substituting part or all of the cream with fat-free evaporated milk, or half-and-half) |
Directions:
1
Open rice, pull out seasoning packet and set aside.
2
In a small bowl, combine pepper and flour. Set aside.
3
In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth and chicken. Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Cover and remove from heat.
4
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add carrots, celery and onion and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in contents of seasoning packet, and continue cooking vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes more. Add seasoned flour gradually while constantly stirring, to form a roux. Saute roux for 3-4 minutes to cook out raw flour taste.
5
Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.
6
Stir cream mixture into broth and rice. Cook over medium heat until heated through and rice is done,15-20 minutes.
7
Alternatively, for those who cannot get the quick-cooking version of the rice, I have put the broth on to boil and cooked the 25-minute version of long grain and wild rice blend according to the directions, while sauteeing the veggies in the butter. I tend to cook the veggies longer this way, and I like them quite soft. I then follow the rest of the directions above, adding the rice/broth to the cream mixture. I've also used fat-free half and half with no appreciable difference in flavor. Enjoy!
