Minesota Wild Rice Soup

• 2 leeks (about 1 pound)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 celery stalks, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
• 10 ounce sliced button or cremini mushrooms
• 7 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth, divided
• 3/4 cup uncooked wild rice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2.25 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1/2 cup)
• 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (about 1 pound)
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 3 tablespoons dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1. Remove roots, outer leaves, and tops from leeks. Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Rinse thoroughly with cold water, and cut each half into 1/4-inch slices.
2. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks, celery, and mushrooms; saute 10 minutes or until tender. Stir in 6 cups broth. Add rice and next 3 ingredients (through pepper); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 to 55 minutes or until rice has "popped."
3. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and 1 cup broth, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add broth mixture to soup. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; add chicken, half-and-half, wine, and mustard. Cook 2 minutes or just until thoroughly heated (do not boil).
