Copycat Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

This soup is so rich and satisfying (and surprisingly low in fat). I came up with this recipe after trying to kick my addiction to the chicken and wild rice soup served at my favorite fancy Italian sandwich shop - and I think this version is even better! It will make enough to feed the whole family, plus plenty for leftovers.

Step: 1

Combine chicken, water, and broth in a large pot over medium heat. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 30 minutes.

Step: 2

Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook carrots, celery, and onion until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.

Step: 3

Remove chicken from broth, cut into cubes, and return to broth. Add rice to the broth, reserving seasoning packet, and simmer 20 minutes.

Step: 4

Meanwhile, melt butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Add flour and reserved rice seasoning packet; cook and stir to create a paste, about 2 minutes. Add milk and whisk to combine. Add milk mixture to the pot with the soup. Stir and simmer until soup thickens, about 5 minutes more.

The name of “stew” can process to 2 time a dish and a cooking method. Stewing involves not fast cooking piece of meat, raw fruit or beans in a flavorful liquid . It’s same as to braising, but it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces instead of being processing menu all of it , and the water based material all of it covers the contents in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for being a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond preserving you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
