Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 stick celery chopped finely
  • 2 medium carrots peeled & chopped finely
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 cup uncooked white jasmine rice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 pound uncooked chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces/strips
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • soup pot

Method
 

  1. Add the olive oil, celery, carrots, and onion to a soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in the garlic and flour and cook for about a minute.
  3. Slowly pour in the broth and stir/scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot until the flour has dissolved.
  4. Stir in the Italian seasoning, rice, and cream. Increase the heat to high, and once the soup comes to a gentle boil, give it a good stir, then reduce the heat so it's simmering and cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. Simmer the soup for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  5. Add in the chicken and cook for another 7-10 minutes or until the chicken and rice are both cooked. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
