CREAMY CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP BY PAULA DEEN



Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup by Paula Deen image

Found this in Paula Deen's magazine "Cooking with Paula Deen". It is a little different from some I have seen and quite tasty. She uses heavy cream (of course) but I have made it with the heavy cream and also with evaporated milk which isn't as heavy. I changed the recipe to use fresh vegetables when possible and some garlic.
