Turkey and Wild Rice Soup

In my few weeks (or days) off before the baby is born, I figured I should update some recipes!

Here's a delicious one we tried tonight:

2 cups cubed cooked turkey or chicken
1/2 a large onion chopped
1/2 a bag of frozen mixed veggies (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
6 oz Near East Wild Rice mix (I used the roasted garlic flavor)
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups half and half
3 tbs. flour
3 tbs. butter

1.) Melt butter in large dutch oven on medium heat
2.) Cook onion and mixed veggies until soft
3.) Add flour and allow to cook about 1 min.
4.) Whisk in 2 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups water and bring to a boil
5.) Add seasoning packet from rice and rice itself. 
6.) Cover and simmer 25 minutes or until rice is tender.
7.) Add turkey and half and half.  Continue to simmer until heated through.

Enjoy!
