Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.75 Cups celery, sliced
• 0.75 Cups onion, minced
• 1 Cup white rice, uncooked
• 2 Cubes chicken bouillon
• 2.5 Cups water
• 0.5 Cups butter, melted
• 4 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 2 Cups milk
• 1.5 Cups chicken, boiled and chopped
• 1 Cup milk
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. In a large pot, combine the celery, onion, rice, chicken bouillon, and water. Cook for about 20 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed by the rice. Remove from heat.
2. In a small skillet, make a cream base by combining the melted butter and flour to form a paste. Gradually add 2 cups of milk, stirring continuously to create a smooth sauce.
3. Add the cream base to the rice mixture in the pot. Stir in the chopped chicken and an additional 1 cup of milk. If the soup is too thick, add more milk to reach the desired consistency.
4. Season with ground black pepper to taste and serve hot.
