CREAM OF CHICKEN & WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions. The box I use usually runs about 25 minutes, so I usually give it a 10 minute head start and then start working on the rest.
• In another pan, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
• Cut the chicken into pieces and coat with the corn starch and pepper. Put chicken into the boiling broth and reduce heat to medium.
• Add carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the broth mixture and let cook until tender.
• Meanwhile, in a small pan, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add onions and saute until soft.
• Stir in flour, coating onions and absorbing the butter.
• Stir milk into flour mixture, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
• When rice is done, add to the broth mixture and stir in rosemary and sage.
• Stir the flour mixture into the broth mixture and heat through, stirring until thickened throughout.
• Enjoy!

Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is tender. Return the broth to the stock pot, and add the partially cooked wild rice.

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add carrots, celery and onion and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in contents of seasoning packet, and continue cooking vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes more. Add seasoned flour gradually while constantly stirring, to form a roux. Saute roux for 3-4 minutes to cook out raw flour taste.
• Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.
• Stir cream mixture into broth and rice. Cook over medium heat until heated through and rice is done,15-20 minutes.
• Alternatively, for those who cannot get the quick-cooking version of the rice, I have put the broth on to boil and cooked the 25-minute version of long grain and wild rice blend according to the directions, while sauteeing the veggies in the butter. I tend to cook the veggies longer this way, and I like them quite soft. I then follow the rest of the directions above, adding the rice/broth to the cream mixture. I've also used fat-free half and half with no appreciable difference in flavor. Enjoy!
