Last week a dear sweet new friend of mine, Marilyn, from church knew that I was struggling with bronchitis and brought this great soup over for our dinner. To say it was great is really an understatement. It was so good, I kept standing at the counter eating it out of the container it was in even before dinnertime. She said I could post it after telling me that she combined about 3 recipes to get this result. Of course with whipping cream in it, what did I expect except a most wonderful soup.
1 box (6 oz) long-grain and wild rice mix, prepared according to directions on box.
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1 table oil
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced celery
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 teas dried tarragon
1/4 teas dried thyme
1/4 teas pepper
1/2 teas salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tables cornstarch
2 tables white wine

Combine cornstarch and small amount of heavy cream tomato a smooth paste. Stir into vegetable mixture along with rest of heavy cream and wine.Cook 3 to 5 min until soup is thickened.
