How can I make a heavy creamy chicken soup with pieces using existing chicken soup?

I do it all then time, it’s yum!

Cook 1 cups of rice with 3 cups water so it gets very soft. Blend the cooked rice and chicken soup very very well. Pour soup through a strainer to get rid of the rice chunks/extra starch. Add to the soup a little bit of chicken soup mix and some creamer or soy milk.

Add a small carton of parve sour cream, and a pinch of onion powder and some diced celery. It will come out creamy and delicious.

Cream of chicken soup is under the category of "things that I've only heard about on Imamother", unless someone is referring to the treif Campbells soup cans, which I doubt. What people describe on this site does not sound like a "cream of" soup to me. I guess its good? I've never heard of blending rice into a soup.

My recipe is, make a raux, (reistel in yiddish) by heating oil, add a few spoons of flour and let it bubble up only till light brown but not burned. Add chicken soup (only liquid, not the veggies) and heat. Add a bit salt and pepper and blend the soup. Dice 1 or 2 chicken cutlets into small squares. Add to soup and cook for 10 minutes. If you like you can add frozen peas when you add the chicken.

Most cream soup is because it has the flour that when blended, makes soup creamy. I don't use rice in soups tho.

The recipe you posted above looks good! I may try that! I have a pot of soup from shabbos left over, I may take out the chicken, make the roux to thicken the soup, blend it, then put the chicken back in. Is that the idea? Or should I remove the carrots so it does not turn orange?

I actually use an entire chicken in my soup so I have the white meat also.

Wait, then I am confused. If you are removing the vegetables and adding in the chicken after its blended, it is only broth and the roux. What is there to blend? The roux just is a thickener to make the broth thicker.

I don't find that the thickened chicken soup needs to be blended. Just once you have the cream soup, gently add back in the shredded chicken and some cubed vegetables.

Potatoes thickens a soup as well.
I don't make my cream of chicken soup with leftover chicken soup. But my recipe calls for potatoes and zucchini, and blend after cooking.

I blend the roux and the soup, as before it's blended, it's maybe thickened, but not a cream. The blending makes it sauce-like.

1 diced onion sauteed
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 tbsp flour
8 cups water
1 small zucchini cubed
2-3 potatoes cubed
1 pack again bones
2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp chicken consumme seasoning
1/4 tsp black pepper

Sautee onion until translucent. Add flour and mix well. Add rest ingredients and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and let cook for 2 hours. Remove bones and blend the veggies. Add bite size cutlets 15 minutes before serving.

I'll add, was too spicy for us, so I put a little less seasoning and black pepper.
