Steps:

• Boil the four cups of vegetable or chicken broth in a 3-quart pan. Once the water comes to a boil, add 2 cups of long-grain white rice and stir. Boil for about 3-4 minutes before covering with a tight-fitting lid and reducing heat to the lowest setting.

• Add 1 ¼ cups of the extra vegetable or chicken broth to the flour and onion mixture to the metal skillet, stir thoroughly, then slowly add half and half cream and sour cream to the mixture stirring until it becomes thick and creamy, slowly add the cheeses and stir the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, if the cheese mixture becomes too thick add a touch more broth or half and half cream to it to thin out. You may season with more kosher salt and freshly ground pepper if desired.
