Creamy Wild Rice Soup

     I can almost smell this wonderfully thick soup just looking at this recipe. Enjoy.

• 1 chopped large onion
• 1 shredded large carrot
• 1 chopped celery rib
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 3 cups cooked wild rice
• 1 cup cubed and cooked chicken breast
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1 cup evaporated milk, fat free
• 1/4 cup chopped chives

      Saute the onion, carrots, and celery in the margarine till tender. Stir in the flour till blended and add the broth slowly. Then mix in the salt, pepper, chicken, and the rice. Boil then cook for a couple minutes or till thick. Add in the milk and cook about 4 minutes longer. Lay chives on top and serve. Makes 2-1/2 quarts or about 10 servings.
