This is really hearty and creamy and delicious! It was a bit bland, so I stirred in 1 Tbsp. of chicken bouillon granules and a sprinkle of Nature's Seasons seasoning blend, and it was perfect! It just needed a little bit stronger of a chicken flavor to the creamy soup part. That was just right. I would definitely make this again! It's hearty enough to eat for dinner.

This was AWESOME!!! I increased the amount of Chicken Broth by 1 C and added 1tsp of Garlic Powder and 1/4 tsp Ground Red Pepper. My husband could not stop raving about this soup. I will make it again and again.

Perfect base recipe for the soup I was craving! A little time consuming, yes, but worth it. Added the juice of two lemons and a couple teaspoons of garlic powder. Doubled the rice and the broccoli. Great soup.

this was my first foray into a creamed soup and all i can say is WOW!!! it is my new favorite soup, i had got some frozen bread loafs and it said how to make a bread bowl, so i wanted a cream soup, i switched it up a little, no carrots, added broccoli and cauliflower....and doubled it..so glad i did as now i will have leftovers

Great soup! I added some cayenne pepper and potato flour ( instead of flour). So yummy!

I took a short cut by sauteing the cubed chicken first in some butter, then adding onions and carrots until tender. Afterwards, I added the broth with potatoes/broccoli/rice and brought everything to a boil. Finally instead of half-and-half, I used heavy cream--didn't feel like skimping on the soup--and a few tablespoons of cornstarch instead of flour. It was delish!!
