Chicken and Rice Soup

This is a copycat recipe from the Demo's Restaurant. It's so delicious and tastes just like the restaurant. It calls for 2 cups of shredded chicken, so rotisserie or grilled chicken will work fine.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
24 oz chicken broth
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian salad dressing mix
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups long-grain rice, cooked

Directions
1. In a large stew pot, melt butter over medium heat.
2. Mix flour with the melted butter and stir until smooth.
3. Slowly add chicken broth stirring continuously until not lumps remain.
4. Add shredded chicken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian salad dressing mix.
5. Bring mixture to a boil.
6. Reduce heat and simmer for 12 minutes.
7. Add milk, lemon juice, white wine, and parsley.
8. Reduce heat to low.
9. Add cooked rice and cover.
10. Cook until rice is heated.

Enjoy!

This is a very yummy soup. More complex flavor than Demos, but a delicious addition. I think if the Italian dressing mix were left out, it would taste just like the restaurant version. And I used gluten free, all purpose flour with no ill effect.

I also used gluten free all purpose flour and it turned out very good. I poached the chicken, used the broth and jasmine rice. Thank you for sharing this recipe...my family enjoyed it!

Has there ever been a problem with the milk curdling?

If only there was a copycat for their hummus...
