I love to eat soup when it is cold! I also love a variety of soups and thought you might too. This is my wild rice chicken soup. It is a hearty soup filled with wild rice, chicken, a few veggies and tons of flavor! I actually think this is my new favorite!

The first thing you are going to do is lightly saute the carrots, celery, garlic and onions in 1/2 cup butter over medium high heat. Once the onion begin to look slightly translucent. Stir in the 1/4 cup of flour. It will form a paste. Add the chicken broth a bit at a time mixing well until all the chicken broth has been added.
Turn down the heat to medium. Pour in a box of wild rice Rice A Roni and it’s flavor seasoning packet. Add the 3 cups of chopped up cooked chicken. Simmer the soup until the rice is cooked and tender (about 15-20 minutes) . Add the half and half. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
Little tip here, the day that I made this soup last I had a busy evening ahead of me. So I made the soup up the point of just adding the wild rice and chicken. Right after adding them I poured the soup in my 6 quart crockpot and cooked it on low for 4 hours. About 15 minutes before serving I added the half and half and turned the crockpot off. It worked out perfect.

Notes
- Little tip here, the day that I made this soup last I had a busy evening ahead of me. So I made the soup up the point of just adding the wild rice and chicken. Right after adding them I poured the soup in my 6 quart crockpot and cooked it on low for 4 hours. About 15 minutes before serving I added the half and half and turned the crockpot off. It worked out perfect.
- This soup is great for leftovers. However, due to the nature of rice this soup with thicken more after being refrigerated. You may need to add a little more milk to get it back to the desired consistency.
