How to Make Creamy Chicken Rice Soup

  1. Spray a large pot with cooking spray. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  2. Add 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 4 cups chicken broth, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 medium onion, chopped, 2 carrots, chopped, 2 celery stalks, chopped, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to the pot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  4. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and continue to simmer on low for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
