This chicken and wild rice soup is creamy and the perfect comfort food! With a few shortcuts, this soup comes together quickly and is full of flavor!
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in contents of seasoning packet. Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour a little at a time, to form a roux. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.
Stir cream mixture into broth and rice. Stir in seasoned salt, salt & pepper, adjusting seasonings as desired. Cook over medium heat until heated through, about 10 minutes.
*It's fine to not use quick cooking rice, you will just need to cook longer (follow cook times according to package directions or until rice is tender).
Store leftovers in airtight, covered container in fridge. You may need to add a little extra liquid when reheating leftovers, as it can thicken up and absorb the liquid as it sits.
