“This is real food”. Those were my son’s first words after tasting this hearty, creamy, delicious soup. This very easy to make soup served with crusty bread and a salad is one satisfying meal.

Because the recipe uses precooked chicken breast and rice, it a great way to use leftover chicken and rice from a previous dinner. I love it when I can take leftovers and make another totally delicious dinner out of them. Creamy Mushroom Chicken Rice Soup, this one’s a keeper, ENJOY!

Notes

Remember when making Creamy Mushroom Chicken Rice Soup that both the long grain rice and the chicken breast are cooked ahead of time before adding to the soup.

Do you have to cook rice before putting it in a casserole?

Do I Cook Rice Before Adding To Casserole Dish? Short answer: No! Long answer: As long as you add boiling hot liquid and seal your ovenproof casserole dish well, your rice will cook perfectly well in the oven. No need to pre-boil the rice.

How do you add rice to soup?

If you choose to add cooked rice to soup, add it just before you're ready to serve the dish and give it just a few minutes on the stove top to heat through. Add cooked rice too early and it'll continue to cook in the soup, coming out mushy and unpalatable.

How do I make chicken and rice less boring?

When I cook rice, I usually add a little bit of salt, butter, and parsley to give it some more flavor. Then serve with a nice baked chicken seasoned with some rosemary, salt, pepper and garlic. If you only cook chicken and rice without seasoning then your cooking will be absolutely bland.

Can you cook rice and raw chicken together?

Can You Cook Raw Chicken And Rice Together? Yes! Raw chicken and uncooked rice can be cooked together to make a perfect easy one pot meal. I prefer to at least sear the chicken in the pot first, because the browning adds so much flavor.
