This soup is even more quick to make if you happen to have some leftover roasted chicken in the refrigerator. Simply shred it and add it to the soup.
Substitute chicken broth or stock for the water and bouillon cubes.
Use frozen mixed vegetables instead of the fresh celery, carrots, and peas. Add the frozen vegetables with the chicken.
I like to use Amish Extra Thick Kluski Egg Noodles, but you may use any egg noodles in your pantry, or even dried spaghetti that has been broken into halves or thirds.

chicken bouillon

brown rice
sweet onion
frozen cauliflower and broccoli blend
paprika
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
half and half cream
all-purpose flour
Instructions for Making This Recipe
To begin, gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand. Using a meat cutting board and knife, cut chicken breast or tenders into 1″ pieces.
In a large saucepan or stockpot bring water and chicken bouillon to a boil, crushing the bouillon cubes until dissolved. You may also substitute 4 cups of chicken stock or broth if you prefer. I always have bouillon cubes in my pantry, so that is usually my go-to ingredient when making soups.
Add chicken pieces, rice, and onion to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, about 18-20 minutes.
There should still be plenty of broth in your pot at this time, but if necessary, add in 1/2 – 1 cup of water, if desired. Stir in the frozen cauliflower/broccoli blend, and return to a boil. Cook on medium heat for an additional 10-12 minutes until cauliflower is heated through.
In a small bowl, whisk together half and half cream with flour until smooth. Pour into soup, stirring until thickened.
Remove from heat, and stir in cubes of cheese. Cover the pot and allow cheese to melt, approximately 7-10 minutes, stirring once or twice. Season with paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve warm with slices of your favorite hard or French bread. We like this soup with Tangy Sourdough or Ranch Loaves. This recipe will serve 4 people.
