Chicken With Wild Rice Soup

I got this recipe from Miriam, and we made it several times this past winter. I thought I should post it before it is scorching hot outside and I forget about it by next winter.

3 cups cooked Uncle Ben's Wild Rice (1 box)

2 carrots, diced small

1 cup diced chicken

1 cup flour

salt and pepper

1 medium onion, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1/2 cup butter

8 cups chicken broth

1 cup half and half

Saute carrots, celery, and onion in butter until tender.

Mix flour with a little bit of the chicken broth so it won't get lumpy, then add flour to veggies. Add broth, rice, chicken, and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Add half and half and reheat, but don't boil again. Serve with rolls to dip, or in bread bowls.
