Ingredients

Method

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a soup pot. Add the mushrooms and cook until they have released their liquids and the liquids have evaporated. Remove and set aside.
  2. Melt another tablespoon butter and cook the onions, carrots, and celery for a few minutes, then add the garlic, thyme, cumin and chilli flakes and cook for 30 seconds longer.
  3. Add the chicken stock, bay leaf and chicken breasts. Bring to boil and simmer for 15minutes. Remove the chicken and add the rice. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to pot.
  4. Continue to cook the rice until tender, 30-45 minutes. Now add the parmesan cheese, double cream and milk.
  5. Make the roux by mixing 2 tablespoons melted butter with the flour. Add a few spoonfuls of the soup to the roux then stir it into the soup.
  6. Let the soup simmer for a few minutes until it thickens. If you prefer the soup with a more liquid consistency, add a little more milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste and take off heat.

  7. Enjoy!

Note
