Directions: |
Directions:1. Soak 1 cup of rice in cold water for about an hour before cooking it.
2. Drain rice.
3.Then add 2 cups of water with a little salt
4. Bring to a boil---then cover and reduce heat to a simmer until done (looks puffy). This takes about 45 minutes.
5. Drain off any excess water---set aside for a while.
6. In a large saucepan melt butter and saute celery, carrots, onions, spices seasonings and chicken base.
7 When veggies are almost done---add mushrooms (if you are using them.)
8. Add 5 cups of of cold water to this mixture.
9. Now I add the measured flour to 1 cup of cold water and stir until it is all dissolved and not lumpy.
10. Add this flour mixture to the above.
11. I now add the diced chicken and the cooked rice and heat until the soup reaches 180 degrees on a kitchen thermometer.
12. Add the cream and return the soup to 180 degrees---stirring gently continuously to avoid sticking to pan.
13. If people are not opposed to it---I add 1/2 cup slivered almonds at this time.
14. Serve and garnish with chopped parsley---or cook parsley in the soup. |
