Creamy Wild Rice and Chicken Soup

I tried a soup recipe last night and it turned out really really good. I will definitely be making it again, and not just because I cooked way too much rice. I don't really measure anything out, but here is my best guess of the version I made:

5 T butter or margarine
1 onion, chopped
1.5 cups frozen corn
1 cup carrots, chopped
3 chicken breasts, cubed

Cook the above ingredients on medium to medium-high for 10 minutes or so until the chicken is cooked and vegetables are tender.

3/4 cup flour
6 cups chicken broth

Stir in four and then slowly add chicken broth. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to simmer until thickens slightly.

3 cups cooked wild rice
1 t salt
1 t dried parsley
1 t cumin
1 t paprika
1 t black pepper
2 cups-ish half and half

Add the remaining ingredients and let simmer until thickened to your liking. Enjoy!

When I go grocery shopping, I need an idea of what ingredients I am going to need. So although I have stopped meal-planning for the time being, I still need to remember the list of recipes I intended on making when I made my shopping list.
