Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup is the ultimate comfort food – creamy, simple, and easy to make with only a few ingredients. Using rotisserie chicken is an easy shortcut that guarantees flavorful chicken (and you don’t have to fuss with raw chicken!). Enriched rice, which has less starch in it than other kinds, helps guarantee the creamy chicken rice soup leftovers will be great without the rice getting mushy. You’ll love this easy comforting soup recipe!
This creamy chicken and rice soup recipe is roughly based on my Chicken and Dumplings recipe, which is one of Bowl of Delicious’s most popular recipes. That recipe adds fresh thyme to the dumplings, and this chicken and rice soup uses fresh thyme in the soup itself. But no fussing with dumplings here! You get a lot of the same flavor with less work.
And because we’re using enriched rice here (also known as converted or parboiled rice), the leftovers hold up really well. This kind of rice is less starchy than others, which prevents it from getting too mushy in the soup. This means you can make a big pot of this soup and enjoy it all week, or freeze some for later!
