Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
- 2 (1.8 ounce) packages dry leek soup mix
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice mix
- 8 ounces half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Combine chicken stock, water, chicken broth, and soup mix in a large pot over medium heat. Stir until all soup mix is dissolved, and bring to a boil.
- Add carrots and celery, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add chicken and rice, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add half-and-half and pepper and simmer for 10 more minutes, being very careful it doesn’t scorch.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pot. Add flour and stir to make a paste. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly add 2 ladles of liquid from the soup; whisk until no lumps remain. Add this mixture to the soup and stir until well combined. Continue to simmer until soup thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
- You can add a little heavy cream at the end to get a richer soup.

Reviews
Made as written and this was full of flavor. All the flavors came together perfectly. The only thing I’d change next time is to cut back on the carrots but that’s just a personal preference. Mushrooms would also be good in this. Over all good recipe and one I’d make again.
