I made this one 11/12/11 at a DOG I attended. Had a nice 3 days camping and cooking. I used 1 large skinless chicken breast, cut up and browned in bacon drippins for the cooked chicken.

10 inch deep DO (5qt)
6 Tblsp. butter, margarine or olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 diced carrot
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
3 cans chicken broth
2 cups cooked wild rice
1 chicken breast, cooked and diced
1 cup half and half
parsley or chives for garnish

Melt butter in the Dutch oven; sauté the onion and carrot until they are tender. Add the mushrooms, sauté 2 minutes longer. Blend in the flour, then gradually stir in the broth. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil, then boil for a couple of minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, the chicken, salt and pepper and simmer for about 5 minutes. Blend in the half and half, then simmer for another 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley or chives.

To cook the wild rice, wash in cold water using a strainer. Put two cups of wild rice in a pot with 5 to 6 cups of water. Cover and bring to a boil, then boil for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer for another 50 minutes.

It is good, Left overs thicken up to a stew consistancy, but are still very good.

Because the rice absorbs the liquid, you can add some water or milk before reheating. It will change the consistency back to soup without changing the flavor.

:cool:
 
made it for dinner tonight. delish. of course, I added garlic which I do for almost everything! thanks, George
 
Kathy,
As most people who cook have learned, very few recipes are set in stone, and can't be "adjusted" to taste.

I did not have the chives to garnish with, and I think they would be a very good addition. Garlic would be good as well.

Glad you liked it.
