        Creamy Chicken Soupe

        This is the Best Chicken Soup i Ever made until now  so Creamy and Healthy In Cold Weather !!







        Ingredients:


            1    Tbsp olive oil
            1    Medium yellow onion
            1   Tbsp minced garlic
            1/2 lb. carrots, sliced
            1/2 bunch celery, sliced
            1    lb. chicken
            1    whole bay leaf
            1    Tsp dried oregano
            1    Tsp dried thyme
            to taste cracked pepper
            1-2 Tsp (to taste) salt
            1    Cup Brown rice 

            6   Cups water
           1/3 bunch fresh parsley

         for the Creamy Mix:
            2   Tbsp butter
            2   Tbsp all-purpose flour
            2   Cups whole milk

        Steps: 

        1- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Meanwhile, dice
        the onion (and mince the garlic if using fresh rather than pre-minced). Add the onion and garlic to the hot oil and saute until tender (5 min)

         2- If using fresh carrots and celery, clean and slice them while the onions are sauteing. Add them to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes more.
          3-  Add the chicken breast (whole), bay leaf, oregano, thyme, cracked pepper, dry rice, and 6 cups of water to the pot. Do not add salt yet. Bring the pot up to a boil over medium high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for one hour.

         4-  Near the end of the hour, begin to make the creamy milk mixture. In a small pot, melt 2 Tbsp of butter over medium heat. When it is fully melted, whisk in 2 Tbsp of all-purpose flour. Cook and stir the butter and flour mixture for two minutes. Whisk in the milk and allow it to come up to a simmer, whisking occasionally to keep it from scorching on the bottom. Once it reaches a simmer, it will have thickened slightly.
        5- Carefully remove the chicken pieces from the soup and shred or dice with a knife and fork. 

        6- Rinse and chop the parsley. Add the parsley and the thickened milk mixture to the soup. Season with salt to taste. I used about 2 tsp of salt, but start with a little and add more as needed. I also added a touch more pepper at this point. Serve hot!


         Enjoy!
