Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

This is my favorite soup recipe!!! Its autumn now so it's time for soup and rolls right?

4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cooked boneless chicken halves shredded
1 (4.5 oz) pckg quick cooking long grain and wild rice with seasoning packet (I use Uncle Bens)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream or milk

Bring broth, water, and chicken to a boil then stir in rice (do not add season packet yet). Follow the directions on rice bo x for how long to cook. Then in another bowl add salt, pepper, flour. In a saucepan over medium heat melt butter then stir in season packet reduce heat to low and then stir in flour mixture a little at a time to form a roux. Whisk in cream a little at a time as well until incorporated. Cook until thickened (about 5 minutes). Stir in cream mixture to broth and rice and cook until heated through about 10 minutes.
