In a large pot add the water, chicken broth,

wild rice, carrots, celery, Adobo seasoning

and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium

heat. Turn to a simmer and cook covered

until the rice and veggies are tender.

This will take 30 – 40 minutes.

In a medium skillet over medium

low heat, melt the butter.

Using a whisk, add the flour

(a spoonful at a time) making a

roux, don’t stop whisking.

Once all of the flour is mixed in, whisk

non stop until the roux becomes a

whisking continuously until smooth and hot.

Add the roux to the rice mixture, whisking

to combine. If the soup is too thick,

add more Half & Half. Add the chicken, stir

and simmer for 5 – 10 minutes or until hot.
