Soup and Salads

The first time I had Chicken and Wild Rice Soup was when we went out to University of Minnesota for a college visit. I have looked and tried so many recipes, but this came as close to the taste I remember from the visit!

Ingredients

  • 3 1⁄2 cups homemade 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 (I used turkey)

Directions

  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 (turkey) and heat through.
