Is there an easy cream of chicken rice soup recipe?

For two cups of soup, take 1 small boneless breast of chicken and poach it in 2 c of chicken broth for about 15-20 min. Remove it from the pan when cooked and let cool till you can handle it and cut it into small cubes. Set aside.


Strain the broth and thicken it with a slurry of flour and water(2 Tbs flour in 3 Tbs cold water), or make a roux of 2 Tbs butter and 2 Tbs flour by melting the butter and stir in in the flour, cook over a low heat for a few minutes, then gradually whisk in the hot broth and gently whisk until all the lumps are gone, simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally, strain again if there are still lumps. Season with salt and pepper to taste, add the cubed chicken and 1/4 c cooked rice, heat through and serve.


The thickened broth is called a veloute, and you can add all sorts of things to make different ';cream of chicken with...'; soups like sauteed mushrooms, cooked vegetables, other seasonings, etc., or use it for a gravy over sliced chicken on toast.Is there an easy cream of chicken rice soup recipe?
Well, I noticed that no one has been able to help you here. I too tried but a recipe for this soup is long and cumbersome. The quickest way is this...





Campbell's can of chicken rice

Open both cans into one soup pot and pour in whatever liquid each can call for. I have done this many times for my kids and it comes out great. Sprinkle a bit of fresh parsley and serve with buttered rolls or bread sticks.
