Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup celery chopped
  • 1/4 cup carrots sliced
  • 8 mushrooms chopped
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup cooked long grain brown rice (or other long grain rice)
  • 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sherry
  • 1 cup half-and-half

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery and carrots and saute for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 2 more minutes.
  • Add the flour and whisk together.
  • Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly until combined. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the rice, chicken, salt, parsley, mustard powder, and black pepper. Allow to heat through, then pour in the half-and-half. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Do not boil.

Notes

  • You can leave the sherry out or substitute it with white wine.
  • Saute the vegetables before adding for extra flavor.
  • Add the half and half just before serving and do not boil, or the soup will curdle.
  • This recipe can be made in the crockpot or Instant Pot.
