Cream of Wild Rice Soup

My neighbor gave me this recipe, and it was amazing.  I didn't take a picture though.  We dipped rolls into it, but I thought it would be perfect for bread bowls.  This recipe made a pretty big pot for my family, so we ate some, then I froze the rest for later.

3c. cooked Uncle Ben's Wild Rice
2 carrots (diced small)
1c. diced chicken
1c. flour
salt and pepper
1 large onion, diced  (does anyone ever really use the whole onion in one recipe?  I don't)
2 celery stalks (diced small)
1/2c. butter
8c. chicken broth
1c. half and half

Saute' carrots, celery and onion in butter until tender.  Add flour.  Add broth, rice, chicken and seasonings.  Bring to a boil.  Add half and half and reheat, but don't boil again.

(My friend suggested to me that I mix the flour with some of the broth before adding it to the soup to prevent getting flour clumps.  I did that, and it worked well.)
