Author: 
Serves: 6-8
 
Ingredients
  • 8 TB Butter
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 
6 cups Chicken Broth
  • 
3 cups Cooked Wild Rice (I prefer Canoe cooked rice in the can)
  • 1 (10 ounces) bag grated carrots (finely chopped)
  • 1 pound Cooked Ham (cubed)
  • 1 pound Cooked Chicken (cubed)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 
2 cups Half and Half
  • 2 TB Dry Sherry
Instructions
  1. Melt butter and sauté onion until soft (not brown) in a large stockpot. Blend in flour and stir to create a paste. Paste should stick together and be clumpy.
  2. Gradually add broth and whisk with paste clumps. Bring mix to a boil.
  3. Turn heat down to low and add cooked rice, carrots, ham, chicken, and salt. Let cook for 15 minutes to soften the carrots. Add half and half and dry sherry, then turn heat up to warm soup. Continue stirring, let stand 10-15 minutes to thicken.
