Cook your chicken in the pot you plan to make your soup in. Allow your chicken to brown and cook, until only a little pink is left in the middle.

Cook the rice as directed on the box, add some pepper and salt to taste.

Add the butter and onions, and cook onions until translucent and a little golden. Once you have done this add the flour and create a roux by mixing the flour into the butter and onions. Add the chicken broth once you've mixed the flour and butter. Let this come to a boil for 1 minute

Once the broth has boiled for 1 minute add the chicken that has been cut, rice, carrots, pecans, and some pepper and salt to taste.

Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, then add the half and half. Let it heat back up and enjoy. Goes well with French bread.
