 Easy Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup Ingredients

• 1 rotisserie chicken (bone removed and cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 2 smoked Turkey wings
• 8 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup of diced carrots
• 1 cup of diced onion
• 1 cup of diced celery
• 1 cup washed rice
• 1/2 stick of butter
• 1/4 cup of flour
• 1 tablespoon of garlic
• all-purpose seasoning
• red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon of Italian paste
• 1/4 cup of heavy cream

How to Make Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup

Step 1:

Place a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add half of the chopped vegetables. Cook until the onion is translucent.

Step 2:

Mix in the Italian paste, red pepper flakes, and all-purpose seasoning. Next, add the flour and cook for a minute.

Step 3:

Pour 8 cups of chicken broth and add the smoked turkey wings. Cover and allow it to simmer until the turkey is tender enough to fall of the bone.

Step 4:

Once the turkey is tender, shred them and add back to the soup. Add the 1/2 cup of the remaining chopped vegetables, chopped chicken, washed rice, and heavy cream. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Make sure to stir so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom.

Step 5:

Serve and enjoy!
