Recipe Introduction

"My mother-in-law raves about the chicken and rice soup I serve at our house. I tweaked the recipe several times to get it just right."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 package (6.2-ounce) fast-cooking long grain and wild rice mix
â—¦ 2 tablespoons butter
â—¦ 1 small onion, finely chopped
â—¦ 1 celery rib, finely chopped
â—¦ 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
â—¦ 1 clove garlic, minced
â—¦ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
â—¦ 3 cups 2% milk
â—¦ 1 ½ cups chicken broth
â—¦ 2 cups cubed cooked chicken


Recipe

Cook the rice mix according to the package directions.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot; cook and stir until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic; cook one minute longer. Stir in flour until blended; gradually whisk in the milk and broth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir in the chicken and the rice mixture; heat through.
