Nothing, especially when it’s this flavor packed creamy chicken and Rice A Roni soup we’re talking about.
It’s a complete meal in one pot with chicken, a blend of carrots, broccoli, and onions, Rice A Roni, and a thick creamy broth.
And it needs almost no prep and a super short prep time so this cozy dinner can be yours even on the busiest of nights!
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Chicken broth– You could use chicken stock or vegetable broth if that’s what you have on hand.
- Rice a Roni– A 7.25 ounce box of the rice pilaf variety
- Veggies– Chopped broccoli florets, chopped carrots, and a small diced onion
- Chicken– Chopped rotisserie chicken
- Cream of soup– Technically I am using cream of chicken but you could use cream of mushroom, cream of broccoli, or even cream of cheddar
- Cream cheese– Softened and cubed
How to Make
Creamy chicken and Rice A Roni soup is so easy to make!
Just add the broth, rice, seasoning packet that came with the Rice A Roni, broccoli, carrots, and onions to a large pot set over high heat.
Stir to evenly combine everything and bring the soup to a boil.
Once it boils, turn the heat down so the soup is just at a simmer.
Cover the soup and let it keep cooking for another 15-20 minutes or just until the rice is cooked and the veggies are tender.
Then stir in the rotisserie chicken, cream of soup, and cream cheese until evenly combined.
Continue simmering the soup for another 10 minutes, stirring often.
Ladle into bowls, serve warm, and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Reheat in a pot on the stove until warm or in the microwave.
Keep in mind, you may have to stir in more broth to thin the soup out when you reheat it.
Tips and Tricks
- Forgot to soften the cream cheese ahead of time? Discard the foil packaging and add the block of cheese to a small plate. Microwave for 35 seconds.
- While cream of chicken soup is recommended, you can use any flavor you enjoy or happen to have on hand.
- Save yourself more time and buy pre diced onions and carrots in the grocery store.
