Chicken and Rice Soup

Ingredients: 1/2 cup brown rice 3 tablespoons butter 1 onion chopped 1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks) 3 tablespoons all purpose flour salt and pepper 1 regular sized can chicken broth 2 cups milk 2 cups diced and cooked chicken (we use canned shredded chicken) 

  Directions: 1. Cook rice according to directions on rice bag. We have a baby pressure cooker and cooked the rice in it for 10 minutes instead of the 30-60 minutes you often have to cook rice.) 2. Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. 3. Add onion and celery to butter. Cook until veggies are almost soft. (5-10 minutes) 4.Add the flour, salt, pepper, milk and broth. Stir until soup has thickened. 5. Add the rice and chicken and allow all to heat up thoroughly. Recipe is from allrecipes.com. One of the best soups we've had and it was super easy to make!
