Cream of Wild Rice


Cream of Wild Rice Soup

 1 large onion, chopped

- 1 large carrot, shredded

- 1 celery rib, chopped (optional)

- 1/4 cup butter (2 tbsp. will work)

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 8 cups chicken broth (can make with 6 chicken bouillones)

- 3 cups cooked wild rice

- 1 cup cooked chicken breast

- 1/4 tsp. salt, if needed

- 1/4 tsp. pepper

- 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk


In a large saucepan, saute onion, celery and carrot in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended. Add a little broth if only 2 tbsp. butter used. Gradually add broth. Add rest of ingredients. Bring to boil over medium heat and let cook until thick. Stir in milk and let cook 3 to 5 minutes longer. Can add flour if it doesn't get thick enough. Makes 2.5 quarts.



So my whole family is sick right now with this yucky Respiratory tract infection and I thought I would make my friends soup recipe (compliments of Jamie Beall)  because it just hits the spot when you are sick!!!  It is good stuff, I highly recommend it if you are under the weather!!!
