Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Courtesy of my mom! Since she loves Bread Co.'s chicken and rice soup she wanted to make her own and found this recipe.

Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups of water
• 2 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded (boneless skinless chicken breasts)
• 1 package Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice with seasoning packet (I like Herb Roasted chicken flavor)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups heavy cream

Directions

Inl arge pot over medium heat, combine broth, water and chicken. Bring just to boiling then stir in rice reserving seasoning packet. Cover and remove from heat.

In a small bowl, combine slat, pepper, and flour. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in contents of seasoning packet until mixture is bubbly. Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour mixture by tablespoons, to form a roux. Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.

Stir in cream mixture into broth and rice. Cook over medium heat until heated through, 10-15 minutes.
