Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup corn
- ½ cup carrots, sliced
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked wild rice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tsp celery salt
- 2 cups milk
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, corn, chicken and carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through. Add flour and stir well. Over medium heat, gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring the soup just to a boil and then reduce heat to low and let simmer, while stirring, for 5-6 minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
- Next, add the rice, salt, curry powder, mustard powder, parsley, celery salt and ground black pepper. Allow all the ingredients to heat through and then pour in the half-and-half. Let the soup gently simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The soup should not boil but should simmer over low heat so that it thickens slowly.
