- 1 cup diced carrots

- 3/4 cup wild rice blend
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Combine the carrots, celery, onion and rice in a slow cooker. Add the broth and water and stir to combine.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the rice is tender.
-
In a saucepan, melt the butter. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Whisk the flour into the butter. It will look clumpy, but continue to cook and stir for a minute or two. Slowly whisk in the milk, constantly whisking to work out any clumps.

- Serve warm.
