Creamy Chicken with Minnesota Wild Rice Soup

-

This is what I cook… when it’s cold and I need soup! Thankfully my sister in law always sends me Minnesota wild rice for Christmas every year! Then I feel like I have a piece of home! 



 Ingredients: 

1 lb diced cooked chicken breast
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cups cooked wild rice
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 cup tablespoons flour 
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups half & half
1/2 cup chopped scallions

Cook carrots, onions & celery in butter until onions are translucent. Add poultry seasoning. Sprinkle with flour and stir to make a rue. Slowly add chicken stock and water. Cook until boiling and thickened. Add chicken and wild rice. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Slowly add the half and half and simmer for another 15 minutes. Add half of the scallions saving the other half for garnish. Serve hot with crackers and garnished with scallions.

Swedish Pancakes

This is what I cook… for breakfast, lunch, dinner or anytime.  This is a Minnesota recipe from my sister-in-law. Swedish pancakes (or crepes) are thinner and more “eggy” than regular pancakes. They can be savory or sweet with toppings of your choice. My favorite are to make them with ham & cheese or with strawberry sauce & whipped cream.  Recipe: 3 eggs 1 1/4 cup milk 1 1/2 cups of flour 3 tbsp sugar 1/4 tsp salt Mix all ingredients together. Pour large circles onto hot griddle. Cook on both sides until golden brown. Fill or top with toppings of your choice. (Picture above: I filled with ham & Swiss cheese and topped with a Dijon béchamel sauce.)
