This soup won me 1st prize at our annual soup-off. It is a creamy blend of a leek broth with seasoned chicken and wild rice blend. Served with bread, it is a meal.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

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

Directions

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.

Cook's Note:

You can add a little heavy cream at the end to get a richer soup.
