This wild rice and ham soup is an extremely easy, fabulous-tasting recipe. I have been making it for more than six years, and we never tire of it. It's rich and warms you up on a cold winter day.

Ingredients

1 cup wild rice
3 cups water
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced onion
0.5 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
0.75 cups minced cooked ham
0.5 cups shredded carrots
3 tablespoons slivered almonds
1 cup half-and-half

Instructions

1

In a pot, bring wild rice and water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 45 minutes.
2

In a separate pot, melt butter over medium heat, and sauté onion until tender. Blend in flour until smooth, and gradually stir in chicken broth. Stirring constantly, bringing mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and mix in cooked rice, ham, carrots, and almonds. Continue to cook and stir about 5 minutes, until heated through. Thoroughly blend half-and-half into soup just before serving.
