Creamy Chicken & Rice Soup

This recipe turned out amazing! I used whole wheat flour because it’s what I had. I used butter in place of the shortening because I didn’t have shortening. I only managed to get about 12 1/2 cups of flour in, maybe because of the type of flour, I don’t know. But it was so stinkin tasty!!! Will definitely be making this more!

Changes, of course! I had some wild rice in my pantry which I microwaved 12 minutes then added to the mix with the Seeds of Change 7 whole grains (organic) ready "rice" from WF. COVID has us all substituting, which is why I used Publix baby organic spinach. YUMMY!! Will make it again.

I just made this - it was delicious. I used some rotisserie chicken and had all the other ingredients on hand so I gave it a try and I’m glad I did. This will be a regular in our house

Delicious!!! I did swap out the kale for spinach and at the last minute I decided not to add the apple cider vinegar. My husband and son loved it too.

I used half and half and spinach because the store was out of cream and kale; turned out great. Definitely will be a regular in our winter soup rotation. It was quick and easy!

A fabulous base recipe! Followed recipe exactly as written the first time we made it and we all found it good, but could use a little more flavor. The second time I made it, I added 1/2 tsp thyme, 1 bay leaf, and 1 sprig of rosemary...just a little added enough flavor to make this soup delicious!

Even better the second day. I added more pepper .and used wild rice .

I left the chicken out and it was still amazing!

I’ve made this many times and love it. I do adjust the flavor, extra garlic, salt, pepper, it depends on your taste buds. This is a very easy and tasteful soup...

I made half of this recipe pretty much as is. It was very EXCELLENT. I did not have rotisserie chicken breast so I used raw chicken breast. Here's how to proceed: Before cooking the vegetables, sear the chicken breast in a bit of olive oil. Once about 5 minutes per side. Your chicken is ready to turn when it releases easily from the pan. Do not turn it before this. Then, add the water and the chicken broth and finish cooking the chicken by boiling it about 10-15 minutes or until done. Scrape any chicken bits from the bottom as you add the broth. This now more chicken flavor rich broth can be poured in a heat proof glass to use as directed. There you have it! Now, start the recipe and proceed as directed. You may want to add a splash of white wine after you add the mushrooms and replace the parsley for dried thyme to add that warm comfort food smell and flavor. I didn't have the apple cider vinegar at hand and this soup was tasting FANTASTIC, will make it again hands down!
