Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

This soup was delicious!  It is very rich and creamy!  I think next time I will do a little more chicken broth and a little less heavy cream (and do part heavy cream, part skim milk) because it was very rich.  But I loved the flavors!

Ingredients:
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cooked, boneless chicken breasts, shredded
1 package quick quicking long grain and wild rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced mushrooms
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream

Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, water, and chicken  Bring just to boiling, then stir in rice.  Cover and remove from heat. 
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.  Add carrots, celery, and mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes.  Add salt and pepper.  Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour until veggies are well coated.  Whisk in cream a little at a time until fully incorporated and smooth.  Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. 
Stir cream mixture into broth and rice.  Cook over medium heat until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
