Set a skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, add the rice and stir occasionally as you toast it off for about 5 minutes.
Place the rice in a saucepan and add 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cover as the rice cooks, about 12 minutes.
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Once hot, add the onion, carrots and celery and cook for 4 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the butter and once melted, stir in the flour until all vegetables are well-coated.
Whisk in the chicken broth and increase heat to medium-high.
Once simmering, add the cream and after 2 minutes, reduce heat to medium-low and add the rice, salt and pepper to the soup.
Stir well and continue to cook for 4 minutes before serving.

Make a batch of homemade broth and freeze it to have on hand whenever you need stock.

Throw everything into your Instant Pot to bring this hearty soup together in record time.

Use a low sodium broth if you are concerned about the amount of salt in your diet.
