    Definite winner. This will be made again in the coming colder months. This would also be a good way to use up some leftover turkey from Thanksgiving.

    Ingredients

    • 4 c chicken stock
    • 2 c water
    • 1/2 c uncooked wild rice
    • 1/2 c green onion, minced (about 3 or 4)
    • 1 stick butter
    • 3/4 c flour
    • salt
    • pepper
    • 2 c half and half
    • Cooked and shredded chicken or turkey (perfect place for leftovers OR I used a rotisserie chicken from the store)
    • Bacon, cooked and crumbled
    • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
    • 2 T sherry

    Directions

    1. In a large pot, add the broth, water, rice and green onion. Simmer until the rice is tender, about 40 minutes. Do not drain the extra broth.
    2. In a large skillet, melt down the butter.
    3. Whisk in the flour, salt, pepper and additional seasoning if you wish.
    4. Cook until the mixture is golden and smooth.
    5. Whisking constantly, stir in the half and half.
    6. Once this mix has thickened, stir it into the rice mix.
    7. Add the bacon, cooked chicken, bell pepper and sherry.
    8. Simmer for 30 minutes or so until the flavors blend.
    9. Do not boil or a skin will form.
