Ingredients

1 boil-in-bag packet instant rice

1 (12-ounce) package chopped frozen broccoli

1 stick butter

1 medium onion, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1/2 cup flour

1/2 (32-ounce) box chicken broth, more if needed for desired consistency

2 (12.5-ounce) cans of chicken, drained

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese

1 pound processed cheese (like Velveeta)

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Follow package directions to cook broccoli and rice. Set aside.

In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, melt butter; add onion and garlic, cooking until tender. Gradually stir in flour. Gradually stir in chicken broth and add more as needed; I prefer my soup thicker) and bring to a boil. Add cooked rice and broccoli, chicken, cream cheese, processed cheese, salt and pepper; simmer until cheeses melt and soup comes together.
