I think this soup is perfect. It is hard to mess up too. I did things in different order and I don't think it even mattered. I did sub some white wine for 1/2 the water, cut back on flour slightly and cooked the rice separately as others have. I also added celery, carrots, onion, and garlic. A bit more salt and pepper. However, I owe the main taste to this soup. It is the right creaminess and makes a great base you could do lots of things with. Spectacular comfort food. doesn't get any better than this.

For those looking for super cheesy creamy Mac N cheese - this is not it. This is the down home baked Mac N cheese with a crunchy top and is SO GOOD. I've been trying to imitate a passed relatives Mac N cheese for years - and this is it! I also did layers and the pour the milk mixture over the entire thing. Covered with foil for 30 min. I quadrupled the batch for Thanksgiving and there was nothing left! Best comfort Mac N Cheese recipe yet!

LOVE this recipe. So very easy and so tasty. Such a nice change to boring chicken. I used 2 parts romano/parmesan to one part bread crumbs. Then sprinkled some italian seasoning on top. This smells incredible. There is never a single leftover drumstick in this house!
