This is one of the best soups that I have ever made. It is so good I crave it quite often. It is pretty easy to make and it makes alot. So good, you too will crave it!
Wild Rice and Chicken Soup:
3-4 boneless chicken breasts 2 chicken bouillon cubes
2 cans chicken broth 1/2 tsp. basil
4 cups water 3 stalks celery
1 Tbsp. onion flakes
*Boil above ingredients until chicken is tender. Remove chicken and shred.
1/2 cup wild rice - in second pot, cook in 2 cups water for 30 minutes, then drain.
1 cup white rice - add to soup (raw) after chicken is done with partially cooked wild rice.
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour - mix with butter in separate pan until bubbly.
16 oz. half and half
*Add half and half to roux and stir until thickened. Add white sauce to soup and stir until thick and blended. Shredded chicken can be added anytime. Add milk or water to thin. This soup is pretty thick and can also be made substituting milk for half and half or just thinned down at the end.

Have you ever tried making this with brown rice rather than white? I wonder how it would work since brown rice takes longer to cook...
I have not, although I think it would totally be possible. You would probably want to partially cook the brown rice just as you partially cook the wild rice and let both of them finish cooking when everything else is added in. Sounds good maybe I will have to try it too! Thanks for the suggestion!
This is one of the best recipes ever!!! I have had it several times!
