Creamy Chicken Rice Soup

This caught my eye last week on my favorite website. My family likes chicken noodles soup, but the creaminess of this soup just made it sound sooo good. I was right. It is good!! I think this is my all-time go-to chicken soup recipe from now on!

Creamy Chicken Rice Soup



The Original Recipe:
I found this on my favorite website, and I think someone from there found it on allrecipes.com. I didn't change much in it, but enough that I am going to write it out again down below. I didn't think it had enough liquid in it.. or maybe I just made more for our big family...
