3 cups cubed cooked chicken approximate 3 small chicken breasts

Melt butter in a pan, add carrots, celery,and onions.  Cook until soft, 5-10 minutes

add flour, cook a couple of minutes to cook the flour taste out.  It will be thick. 

Slowly add chicken broth whisking as you add the broth to prevent lumps.

Add salt, gr mustard, curry powder, parsley and pepper. Stir to mix in.

Add both rice and chicken. cook 5-10 mins simmer to blend the flavors. 

If it is too thick you can add more chicken broth to your consistency.

*** if you cant find cooked canned wild rice, then use 1 1/2 cup cooked wild rice.  you just want a total of 2 cups cooked rice in the soup. you could omit the jasmine rice and just use 2 cups cooked wild rice soup.
