Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup image

A supremely filling, hearty soup. I serve this on cold rainy days with a loaf of homemade bread. Hint: this is perfect for leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken you've pulled from the bone after making homemade chicken stock! This soup makes great leftovers, but you might want to thin it slightly with skim milk or water when reheating.

4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves, shredded
1 (4.5 ounce) package quick cooking long grain and wild rice with seasoning packet

½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter
2 cups heavy cream

Steps:

This was a very yummy soup! Creamy texture with great flavor and aroma. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time. I also added some extra veggies, like carrots and celery. It was a hit with my family and friends.
