Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings6
Cook Time30 Minutes
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, divided
2 cups chopped celery
1 cup thinly sliced carrots (about 3 carrots)
4 cups chicken broth
3 cups cooked wild rice
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups Kemps Half & Half
2 cups Kemps Heavy Whipping Cream
1 deli rotisserie chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
Directions
  1. In large Dutch oven, over medium heat, melt 1/4 cup of the butter. Add celery, carrots and onions; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until veggies are tender. Stir in chicken broth, wild rice and salt; cook 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
  2. In a medium-size microwaveable bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup butter. Stir in the flour and mix until smooth. Gradually stir (a spoonful at a time) the butter-flour mixture into the soup pot mixing constantly to create a smooth mixture.
  3. Stir in Kemps Half & Half Cream. Cook 10 minutes until mixture thickens.
  4. Stir in Kemps Heavy Whipping Cream and chicken. Cook for 10 minutes until hot. 

Tips:

  • You can use 2 cans (15 oz each) cooked wild rice to save time.
  • Stirring the chicken in at the end of the soup prep prevents the chicken from getting stringy and overcooked.
  • Salt and pepper the soup to your taste before serving. The amount of salt needed will depend on the broth used as well as the deli roasted chicken.
