Preparation

Step 1

In large pot, heat butter and olive oil. Sauté onions and carrots on medium heat for 5-7 minutes to soften. Season vegetables with salt and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and raise temperature to medium high heat; bring to a boil and pour in rice and the seasoning packet that came with the rice. Cover and reduce heat to simmer lightly for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add chicken and half and half. Cook 5 minutes or until rice is softened completely, soup has thickened slightly and chicken is warmed through. Taste and season accordingly. Serve hot.
