Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

This is a recipe that I got from mom. I took it to a baby shower last night and people kept commenting on how much they loved it. It really is a great filling dinner soup. I've used it for church meetings too where dinner is served and there's never anything left over!

  I don't know how to take good soup photos...

Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

3 1/2 cups cooked wild rice (5 oz. = 2 1/2 cups)

1 large onion, chopped fine

2 large carrots chopped fine (or grated)

5 chicken breasts, cooked & cubed

4 chicken bullion cubes

6 cups water

1 cube margarine

1 cup flour

2 cups half & half

I usually cook my chicken earlier in the day and then just refrigerate it until I am ready. I boil it until it's cooked through.

Cook rice and set aside.

Melt butter in a large pot and then add the onions & carrots and saute. Add the flour and stir together. Stir in water & bullion cubes. Use a wire wisk and to make sure that things combine properly. Add chicken, rice and half & half. Heat through.

Serve & enjoy!
