This is one of my favorite comfort soups. It is so yummy and easy. I have to triple it for my family! I also made Crusty French Bread (which you can find in the archives).
1/2 c. chopped carrot
1/3 c. finely chopped onion
1/3 c. chopped celery
1 garlic clove, minced
2T butter
1/4 c. flour
2 14-1/2 oz. cans chicken broth
2 c. cooked rice (I use brown)
1 c. cubed cooked chicken
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup 2% milk
2 T lemon juice
In a large saucepan, saute the carrot, onion, celery and garlic in butter unil tender. Stir in flour until blended. Gradually stir in broth. Add the rice, chicken, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 min. or until vegetables are tender. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the milk and lemon juice. Cook and stir for 5 min. or until heated through.
Yield 6 servings
1 c. = 4 WW points
I use either leftover chicken or boneless/skinless breasts that I sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning and bake. I also use skim milk. |
