So making dinners aren't as easy as they used to be. With a 2 month old I have to work around his schedule. Which doesn't always work well with my plans for dinner. This meal only says to have in the crock pot for 6 hours (or high 4 hours) but who knows if I would be able to pull that time frame off. So I took the window of opportunity and he was asleep so I ended up having this soup in the crock pot for 10 hours. Didnt hurt anything but boy did it tease me all day!
Creamy chicken and wild rice soup
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 package rice a roni long grain and wild rice mix
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced carrots
3 chicken breasts
1 cup water
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cups (1 pint) half n half
Combine broth, water, chicken, rice mix, celery and carrots in crock pot and cook for 6 hours.
Shred chicken
In small bowl combine flour salt and pepper.
In saucepan melt butter. Stir in flour mix a tablespoon at a time.
Whisk in half n half slowly.
Pour into crock pot and stir together.
Cook for 15 more mins
I think it could have used 2 boxes of the rice a roni but that's just me. If you like more rice then I would do that. Before you add the "creamy" it smells an looks jut like chicken noodle soup. So if your not about the creamy then just don't add the last part.
Happy cooking
