Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups chopped celery
1 ½ cups chopped onion
2 cups uncooked brown rice
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 ½ cups water
1 cup margarine
¾ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
6 cups milk, divided
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large pot over high heat, combine the celery, onions, rice, bouillon, broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter or margarine. Slowly add the flour, stirring often, to make a roux. Add 4 cups of milk, 1/2 cup at a time, while constantly stirring. Add this and the chicken to the rice mixture and return the rice mixture to the stovetop over low heat.
  • If the soup seems too thick, add some or all of the remaining 2 cups of milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste and allow to simmer for at least an hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder or omitting it altogether.

This soup was okay. It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't bad either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was super easy to make and it turned out great! I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it was still very tender. I also added some chopped carrots and celery for extra flavor.

This soup was just okay. I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I also didn't like the texture of the rice, it was a bit too mushy for my taste.

This was a delicious and easy soup to make. I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. The chicken was tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
