CREAMY HAM AND RICE SOUP



Creamy Ham and Rice Soup image

Comfort in a bowl. A quick and hearty soup full of shredded carrots, scallions, diced ham, cooked rice and cream.

Provided by cherin

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tbsp butter
1 scallion, chopped
1 small carrot, peeled and grated
1/3 cup flour
3.5 cups chicken broth
1 cup finely chopped cooked ham
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup single cream
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium size saucepan cook scallions and carrots in butter to soften. Add flour and stir until thoroughly combined with butter.
  • Slowly add chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil and simmer 2 min.
  • Add ham, rice, cream, salt and pepper. Heat through, but do not bring to a boil.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: Combining different types of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, adds depth and flavor to the soup.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will make the soup mushy.
  • Add vegetables for extra nutrition: Chopped carrots, celery, or peas are great additions to this soup. They add flavor and nutrients without overpowering the main ingredients.
  • Use a good quality ham: The ham is the star of this soup, so it's important to use a good quality variety. Look for a ham that is flavorful and not too salty.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: This soup is perfect for dipping crusty bread or crackers. It's also great served over a bed of rice.

Conclusion:

Cheesy ham and rice soup is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. It's a great way to use up leftover ham and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will love.
