CREAM OF CHICKEN & WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Prepare rice according to package directions. The box I use usually runs about 25 minutes, so I usually give it a 10 minute head start and then start working on the rest.
• In another pan, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
• Cut the chicken into pieces and coat with the corn starch and pepper. Put chicken into the boiling broth and reduce heat to medium.
• Add carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the broth mixture and let cook until tender.
• Meanwhile, in a small pan, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add onions and saute until soft.
• Stir in flour, coating onions and absorbing the butter.
• Stir milk into flour mixture, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
• When rice is done, add to the broth mixture and stir in rosemary and sage.
• Stir the flour mixture into the broth mixture and heat through, stirring until thickened throughout.
• Enjoy!
