This spicy soup is full of healthy vegetables and a great way to 'clean out the fridge.' I always make sure to have a large bag of potstickers in our freezer for making a quick meal like this one! Enjoy! Diane

Chicken & Wild Rice Soup Main Soup: 2-3 cups skinless cooked chicken breasts *shred or dice 4 cups chicken broth 1-2 cups cooked wild rice 3 carrots, sliced 3 celery ribs, sliced 1 large onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced seasonings to taste: salt & pepper, to taste 1-2 Tbs sweet basil 2 Tbs chives 1 Tbs parsley *few shakes hot sauce, optional *1-2 Tbs Better then Bullion Chicken paste, optional Roux: 3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 quart half-and-half cream (I use 2 cups 2% milk & 2 cups heavy cream with great results) Directions:
Make the Roux mixture separately - warming the milk first helps the entire mixture thicken quicker. This is what turns your soup into a "Cream Soup"...
CANNING NOTE: IF you're wanting to can this - you must do so BEFORE adding ANY of the Rice or Roux. You would make the Rice and Roux Mixture upon opening the soup to heat and eat - rice, dairy, flour and butter cannot be canned. I love writing new recipes for soup. This is a savory, delicious and slightly spicy recipe and is quickly becoming one of our favorite soups. I hope you try this recipe. The Mexican Spice Mix is great to have on hand - I do suggest making a batch! You can use it for anything from tacos to fajitas...and now - SOUP! Enjoy. Diane

To Serve:
Who doesn't love a soup?! What's even better - this soup is easy to make. I do pressure can my ham stock so that its readily available. If you don't have the time to can homemade ham stock then cook your ham bone and continue on with this recipe. IF you taste your soup and it's lacking 'depth of flavor', add chili powder!! It's not an 'in your face' taste - it deepens the ham flavor and soup. I do add chili powder and lemon juice to my homemade ham stock as its being made, if you don't follow my recipe for ham stock then, you will probably want to add some chili powder directly to this soup...add a small amount, it will make a difference.
Enjoy! Diane INGREDIENTS
