Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

This is so delicious on a cold day:


Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup



4 cups chicken broth                                    1 cup chopped carrots

2 cups water                                                1 cup chopped celery

2 cooked, boneless chicken breast                ¾ cup flour

   Halves, shredded                                       ½ cup butter

1 (4.5 oz) pkg. quick cooking long                2 cups heavy cream

   Grain & wild rice with seasoning packet      ½ tsp. salt & pepper (to taste)



In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, water and chicken.  Bring just to boiling, then stir in carrots, celery, rice, reserving seasoning packet.  Cover and remove from heat.  In a small bowl, combine salt & pepper & flour.  In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.  Stir in contents of seasoning packet until mixture is bubbly.  Reduce to low then stir in flour mixture by tablespoons, to form a roux.  Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth.  Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.  Stir cream mixture into broth and rice.  Cook over medium heat until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
