Cook wild rice according to directions and cook chicken according to your preference. Meanwhile, saute Onion, Garlic, Celery & Carrot in 1/4 cup butter until soft. Add 1/2 cup flour and mix well. Slowly add chicken stock. Add cooked wild rice and cooked chicken. Stir and boil for approximately 2 minutes. Add all seasonings* and milk. Boil additional 5 minutes** on LOW HEAT stirring occasionally until thickened.

Serves 10. (1 cup per person serving size)

*Feel free to adjust herbs and seasonings to your liking. The original recipe didn't call for any of those herbs, I just added them and made adjustments to my own preference.

** You don't have to cook this soup for a long time as the ingredients are pre-cooked but I like to slowly simmer my soups to ensure proper flavor infusion.

Holy smokes, this is yummy. I swapped leftover chicken breast for the thighs, and used a little less salt, but it was delicious, easy and came together in no time. Great for a cold winter day! Thanks for sharing. - 11/14/13

Sounds yummy especially with the additional spices. Think I will make this for dinner tonight as I have lots of wild rice already made and ready to be eaten! - 2/27/12

I cooked the chicken separate, sauteed the chopped onion, but cooked the carrots, chopped chicken, celery, rice, and seasonings in the broth until rice was cooked and carrots were tender. I also used homemade broth to reduce the sodium. I added the dairy and peas in the end. YUMMO! - 12/5/11
