Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup - Amber Edwards

3½ cups water                                     
1 tbsp instant chicken bouillon
2 skinless (bone-in) chick breasts    
¾ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup uncooked wild rice                 
¼ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp dried rosemary                         
pinch white pepper
12oz can evaporated milk                
3 tbsp flour
⅓ cup sliced scallions

Cook chicken over medium-high heat for a couple minutes on each side until nicely browned.  Add water, bouillon, onion, wild rice, thyme, rosemary and white pepper and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked.  Remove chicken from pot and set aside.  Cook soup for an additional 30 minutes until rice is tender.  Place ½ cup of the milk and all the flour in a jar and shake until smooth.  Add the remaining milk into the pot.  Increase heat to medium and let mixture come to a boil.  Slowly pour in the flour/milk mixture, stirring constantly.  Cook for a minute or two until it thickens slightly.  Pull chicken apart from the bones and tear into bite sized pieces.  Add back to soup and simmer.  Garnish with scallions.
