Baby, It's Cold Outside

It is fucking cold out.  Enjoy some soup.  Anyone who has ever watched me cook knows I don't really measure stuff out.  So this is kind of what I do.

Chicken And Rice Soup

1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup finely chopped carrot

1 stick of butter.

Melt butter in large pot.  Added chopped ingredients and saute' for about 10 minutes.  Generously add poultry seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.  A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds a kick.   Add 1/2  cup flour. Stir in well.  It will resemble mush.  Slowly add 1 large carton of chicken stock, constantly stirring.

Add 2 cups cooked rice (wild rice, brown rice, orzo all work well)
Add 2 cups finely chopped broccoli (cooked but still firm)
Add 4 cups cooked chicken or turkey (I sometimes will use all the meat from a rotisserie chicken from the market)

Let simmer until heated all the way through.   Stir in 1 cup of milk..

Top off with crunchy croutons and serve with warm bread or corn muffins.
