Chicken & Pancetta Wild Rice Soup

This is another Orko blizzard creation.  When did they start naming blizzards?  I really wish it would stop.  I understand hurricanes because they do more widespread damage.  Blizzards are meant to make you stay inside, cook good food and watch terrible movies.  Thank goodness of Netflix Instant Queue.  Luckily we had plenty of warnings for days before "Orko" struck so I stocked up with lots of good foods.

Chicken & Pancetta Wild Rice Soup


3 cups chicken broth
1 cup cream
1 cup milk
2 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into small pieces
3 oz Pancetta, lightly fried and crumbled
2 cups wild and long grain rice, cooked according to package directions
1 cup carrots peeled and diced
1 tbp celery flakes
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 dashes hot sauce

Cook rice per package directions.  Braise chicken breasts and cut into small pieces when cool enough to touch.  Heat broth and milk and gradually add in remaining ingredients.
