HEALTHY CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine chicken broth, water, wild rice, onion, carrots and celery in a large stockpot over high heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice and veggies are tender.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saute pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. (It's OK if you've got small clumps of flour.)
• Add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning and stir to combine.
• Slowly add half-and-half while whisking constantly to remove the clumps and get a smooth mixture.
• Cook the cream mixture for 4-5 minutes, until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Slowly add the cream mixture to the cooked rice, stirring to combine. Stir in chicken and peas.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, until everything is warmed through, but don't let the mixture boil. Serve hot and enjoy!

• Add both cans of cream of potato soup, milk, and Velveeta. Stir all ingredients until mixed well.
• Heat on medium until cheese is melted and everything is blended.
• Season to taste ( I like to just add pepper since the Velveeta makes it a little salty already)
