Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup (souper easy)

Creamy Chicken And Rice Soup

Makes about a gallon

Ingredients: 
2 cups cut chicken
2 bags Uncle Ben's 90 Microwave rice (I like the wild long grain, or the one with quona.  Feeling crazy, add different bags!)
1 brick cream cheese
2 cans cream of chicken
2+ cups milk
2+ cups water
- Steamed Veggie Bags
- Spices as you like

1. Add water and chicken to the bottom of your pot.  Simmer chicken till done (3/4 min on high)
2. Add any spices.  I like sea salt, pepper, and some garlic.  
3. Put rice bags into microwave as instructed on the bag (90sec each bag, or I do 1.45min for both)
4. Add milk, cream cheese (cut into smaller chunks), and cream of chicken into pot with chicken and stock.  
5. Add rice from bags.  These will be hot after microwave.  
6. If you like veggies in your food.  Steam bags are easy and quick.  Steam the veggies in microwave, cut, add to soup.  
7. Simmer all, stirring often.
8. If you want it less thick, add more milk.  

You can really add about anything to this.  If done this way, sans veggies, it takes about 15 minutes to make.  I love to have all of this on hand for those gross cold days after work.  I am super lazy and picky hence no veggies in the soup, but it is a great way to add them in.
