1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into large strips (or chicken tenders)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning blend
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons flour, divided
5-6 cups chicken stock
2 cups cooked wild rice
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
1/2 cup slivered almonds

1
Season the chicken pieces well with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Saute in a stockpot with the oil over medium-high heat until they're well browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2
Add 2 tbs. of the butter to the pan. Add the onion, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic; saute for 5 to 7 minutes until the veggies are softened.
3
Add 2 tbs. of the flour and stir until incorporated; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in 5 cups of the stock. Add the wild rice and simmer for 15 minutes or so.
4
Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1 tbs. butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the remaining tbs. flour and cook for 2 minutes. While the flour cooks, heat the milk in the microwave until it's warm, about 1 minute. Whisk the warm milk into the flour-butter roux and cook until it's smooth and thickened. Whisk in the cheddar until it's melted into the milk. Stir the cheesy sauce into the soup and heat through.
5
Shred the cooked chicken and add along with the almonds just before serving. Add extra chicken stock if the soup is too thick. This soup freezes very well.
