Creamy Vegetable & Chicken Soup

This comforting creamy chicken & vegetable soup recipe is pretty versatile.   If you don't want to make your own rice, you can add a bag of pre-cooked microwaved rice (microwave it before adding it in).  You can use a drained can of cooked chicken instead of diced, roasted chicken.  You can use a bag of riced broccoli in place of the sliced/diced head of broccoli.  All sorts of variations to make life easier for those busy nights!  Enjoy!

Creamy Vegetable & Chicken Soup

In a large pot over medium-heat, sauté 3 - 5 minutes:
1 - 2 Tbsp butter
1 - 2 Tbsp oil 
1/2 - 1 onion, finely diced
1 - 2 carrots, finely diced
1 - 2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 - 1 tsp freeze-dried or dried parsley
1/4 tsp dried sage or 1 - 2 tsp fresh sage, minced (optional)
1/4 tsp dried rosemary or 1 - 2 tsp fresh rosemary, minced (optional) 

*This recipe also works well with a holiday blend of vegetables (finely diced sweet potato, butternut squash, onion, celery, carrot with the sage and rosemary addition)*

Add and cook an additional 3-4 minutes: 
1 large head broccoli, sliced and diced

Add: 
1 can GF cream of chicken soup *see comment at end if you can't find this*
2 cups water
3/4 cup milk
2 tsp GF chicken bouillon paste

Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.  

Add the following, returning briefly to a boil before serving: 
1 - 2 cups cooked white Jasmine rice (make sure your rice is cooked!)
1 cup roast chicken, diced (Canned, drained chicken will work well in this recipe, too)

This is a nice all-in-one meal, but you can serve it with a side of GF crackers or GF garlic bread, whatever you're in the mood for!  Enjoy!

*** If you cannot find a can of Gluten-Free cream of chicken soup, then this is my recommendation (and yes, I've done this)
Add an extra cup of chicken broth before you simmer your soup.  
After the 10-15 minutes of simmering, whisk the following together in a small bowl:
1/3 cup cold milk
1/4 - 1/3 cup cornstarch

Add to your soup and stir, bringing to a boil just to let it thicken a bit. 
And that'll be your work around!
