Yummiest Soup on the block!

So I was the recipient of this soup one night from a lovely friend.

I don't normally eat left overs as I have a strong feeling about them rooted in my fear of what my Dad could make from leftovers.
BUT I hid the soup left overs behind containers in my fridge so I could enjoy them on Day 2...bwhahahaha

Chicken Wild Rice Soup

2 Pkg. Wild Rice Mix (Uncle Ben's; cooked)
5 Chicken breasts (cooked and cubed)
4 or 5 Cups of water
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 chopped onion
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 cup chopped carrots
2 can chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups of milk
1/2 cup Butter
3/4 Cup Flour

Cook rice and chicken and combine in pot with water. Saute veggies in saucepan with olive oil. Add to pot. Melt margarine in saucepan and add flour. Wisk in milk until bubbly and thick. Add milk mixture and chicken broth to pot and give it a stir.

Simmer soup for 15 minutes or so.

I just made half this recipe and it makes a LOAD of soup. SO if you make the full recipe plan to be a lovely friend and pass it own to another family for dinner.
