2-3 chicken breasts, cooked & cut up
In large saucepan, mix broth, carrots, celery, onion, wild rice, thyme, garlic powder, bay leaves, and pepper. Bring to a boil: reduce heat; cover; simmer 50 minutes or until rice is tender.
Meanwhile, melt butter. Stir in flour, then stir in half & half milk. Cook and stir until bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Slowly add to the rice mixture, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken and heat thoroughly.

**I didn't have cream on hand when I made this, so I used 1 c. milk & 1/2 c. sour cream. It still tasted great.
