Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a large pot, combine the chopped celery, finely diced onion, uncooked white rice, chicken bouillon cubes, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until most of the water has been absorbed by the rice. Remove from heat. (Approximately 20 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

While the rice mixture simmers, prepare the cream base. In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the melted butter and all-purpose flour, stirring constantly to form a smooth paste. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to a smooth, velvety consistency. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Gently incorporate the cream base into the rice mixture, stirring until well combined. Add the chopped, boiled chicken and the remaining 1 cup of milk. If the soup appears too thick, add a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency. Season with ground black pepper to taste. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)

04

Step

Serve hot and enjoy the heartwarming flavors of this classic chicken and rice soup.

For an even richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of water and bouillon cubes.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, peas, or corn, for added nutritional value and flavor.
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a slurry of cornstarch and water to the simmering soup towards the end of the cooking time.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
