Creamy Vegetable Soup combines carrots, celery, red onion, potatoes, and long grain rice cooked in chicken broth, finished with sour cream for a rich, smooth texture. The ingredients simmer together to tender perfection, and slight blending adds body without losing all texture. This soup offers a comforting warmth and mild savory flavor, making it suitable for cooler days or when a hearty, creamy soup is desired.
