Really Simple Creamy Chicken Rice Soup

7 cups chicken bullion stock

about a cup and a half of chicken, diced

a 4oz box of whole-grain wild rice (I wanted to use barley but couldn't find it)

2/3 of a 1 lb bag of sliced carrots

4 or 5 stalks of celery, sliced

1 small onion (about the size of a chicken egg), diced

about 2/3 cup milk, about 2-3 tbsp butter, about 2 heaping tbsp flour, a little more than a tbsp of sake (not really necessary if you don't have it), and a pinch each of basil and thyme.


Mix (the flour does best mixed into the milk separately, lest it make lumps), boil for 45 minutes (stirring occasionally) or until the rice has cooked, serve.



The results wasn't very liquidy, so if you like your soup to be more soupy you'll probably want to add more stock, milk, so forth.


Now to get to work on my dreads. :P

Damn it, Heath Ledger. When I blamed your Joker makeup for the downfall of all things manly, I didn't really mean it.



One must wonder about the mental states of celebrities in recent times, in relation to the sudden (or suddenly more visible?) trend towards self-destruction. Some do tons of drugs, some leap headfirst into damaging relationships, some lose/gain entirely too much weight, some show the entire world their naughty bits, and some attempt to or (in Ledger's case) successfully off themselves, accidentally or otherwise. I wonder if this is a bizarre attempt by some of them to control whatever aspect of their lives isn't under so much media scrutiny.
