I made a few changes, nothing tooo major though. First change, the box of wild rice I used was a 6.2oz Uncle Ben's. Also, I used 1% milk instead of cream because that's what I had. Then, I diced up about a 1/2 lb of bacon and cooked it in a pan. I set the bacon aside, and drained the grease from the pan (but didn't wash the pan). I sauteed an onion (about a medium sized onion) and 2 cloves of garlic in the leftover bacon greased pan, when they were almost done, I added about a 1/2 cup shredded carrots to the pan. I added this to the pot with the chicken and broth. When making the cream, I reduced the flour to 1/2 cup, because I added an 8oz block of velveeta. When I added everything all together in the same pot, I added about another 1/2 cup of shredded carrots to the pot. I saved the bacon bits to crumble on top of my bowl of soup. The taste is amazing! Although some may want more broth...(in which case, if you add more broth, you may want to keep the original 3/4 cup of flour to keep it somewhat thick), I didn't mind, maybe it seemed like there was a little less broth than should have been because I used more rice.
