Ingredientes
- Add the cream of chicken soup, 1-15oz can chicken broth,
- Last thing is 1/4 cup cashews. Like I said – sounds a little bizarre, but they are so good in here! Soft and creamy, yum. : )
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large shallot, chopped (or 1 small onion)
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- salt & pepper
- 1/2lb chicken, cooked and cubed
- 15oz can chicken broth
- 1/2 cup wild rice blend (look for rice with 30-35 minute cooking time)
- 1/4 cup cashew halves
- 1 recipe Cream of Chicken Soup
- For the Cream of Chicken Soup:
- 1-1/4 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 cup milk (I used skim – could use almond to make dairy free)
- 6 Tablespoons flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon dried basil
