Chicken Rice Mushroom Soup
Description
Chicken Rice Mushroom Soup starts by sautéing onions in butter, then adding flour to create a light roux before introducing chicken broth and water. The soup is enriched with chopped carrot, garlic, celery, and a blend of three types of rice along with boneless skinless chicken thighs. The mixture simmers covered to tenderize the chicken and cook the rice.
Shiitake mushrooms added later lend an earthy depth, and after shredding the chicken, sour cream is stirred in to add creaminess. The broth remains clear yet flavorful, and the variety of rices contributes a pleasant, slightly chewy texture contrasted by the tender chicken and mushrooms.
This soup serves well as a substantial meal on its own or alongside a simple green salad. It can be adjusted with additional water if it becomes too thick and seasoned further to taste.
