Preparation
In a large saucepan melt butter. Sauté onion, carrot and celery. Cook gently 5 min until vegetables are fragrant and tender. Add chicken. Cook 4 to 5 min until chicken loses its raw appearance.
Sprinkle with flour. Cook 3 to 4 min, browning lightly. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 15 min. Add milk and bring to a boil. Add rice and cook 5 to 10 min. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Tips
For a Cream of Chicken Noodle Soup, add 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) cooked noodles instead of the rice.
If soup is thicker than you wish, add a bit more milk; if it is thinner than you like, cook uncovered for 5 to 10 min to reduce it.
