2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for sautéing vegetables and adding depth to flavors.
2 stalks Celery Adds a lovely crunch and subtle earthiness.
2 medium Carrots Peel and chop finely.
1 medium Onion Chopped onion enhances flavor depth.
3 cloves Garlic Minced for an aromatic burst.
3 tablespoons Flour Thickens the creamy broth.
4 cups Chicken Broth Opt for low-sodium for a healthier option.
1/4 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Adds warmth and complexity.
3/4 cup Jasmine Rice Uncooked for a fragrant texture.
1 cup Heavy Cream Ensures an indulgently creamy soup.
1 pound Chicken Breasts Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Salt & Pepper To taste.

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped celery, carrots, and onion, then sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and flour to the sautéed vegetables, stirring for about 1 minute to form a thick paste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring continuously to incorporate the mixture.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, jasmine rice, and heavy cream. Increase the heat to bring to a gentle boil, then lower to a simmer for about 10 minutes.
Incorporate the bite-sized chicken pieces into the soup, cooking for another 7-10 minutes until both the chicken and rice are cooked through.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy hot!

Consider serving alongside a crunchy baguette or a fresh salad for a delightful pairing.
