1 6oz box Uncle Ben's chicken and wild rice
1 c cooked wild rice
1/2 c chopped onion
1/2 c celery
1/2 c chopped carrots
2 potatoes, cubed
1/4 c butter
4 c chicken broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 - 3 c shredded, cooked chicken
1/3 c flour
2 c half & half
1 c milk
Make rice according to package directions. Cook potatoes until fork tender. Meanwhile, in a dutch oven, melt butter. Add onion, celery and carrots*. Saute for 3 - 4 minutes. Add broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until veggies are tender. Whisk flour into milk until smooth. Bring broth and veggies to a low boil, add milk mixture and half & half. Heat to boiling, but do not bring to a rolling boil. Add potatoes, wild rice, and Uncle Ben's rice mix. Heat through and serve. Enjoy!
*I think next time I'll just add the potatoes here and not cook them separately.
