Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup image

My daughter in-law gave me a recipe for this soup and then I tweaked it to make it more to our liking. The original recipe called for half & half, but I use skim to cut the fat. The original recipe only called for 1/2 cup of flour, but my husband made the remark that it wasn't thick enough, so I increased the flour to 1 cup. I have cooked my own chicken breast to use and I have bought a rotisserie chicken for it.
