Something Yummy

Minnesota Cream of Wild Rice and Chicken Soup



I found this recipe online.

I've made it a few times

over the last couple of months

and we just love it.

While I realize we are almost

at the end of

"soup season,"

I thought you might

want to try it before the

warm weather lands.

Ingredients:Servings: 4  

3 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 cup sliced carrot

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/3 cup wild rice

1/3 cup sliced onion

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

1 cup half-and-half cream

1 1/2 cups cut-up cooked chicken

Directions:

Prep Time: 30 mins

Total Time: 1 1/2 hrs

1. Mix broth, carrots, celery, uncooked rice, onions, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

2. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour, until the rice is tender.

3. Melt butter, stir in the flour, then the half-half.

4. Cook and stir 1 minute. Slowly add half-half mixture to the rice mixture, stirring constantly. Stir in the chicken and heat through.

Note:

I always rinse and soak my

rice for at least an hour

prior to cooking it.

Enjoy!
