- Bring 2 c. of salted water to boil in a saucepan. Add in the rice and simmer, covered, till the rice is tender but still has some bite to it, 35 to 40 min. It won't absorb all the water. Drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet over low heat. Add in the flour and blend well. Cook, stirring, till light golden brown, 8 to 10 min. Be careful it doesn't brown.
- Heat 6 c. of the chicken stock to a simmer in a large saucepan. Whisk in the flour mix till smooth. Strain the mix.
- Wipe the pan clean and heat over medium-high heat. Add in the bacon and cook till almost crisp, 5 to 6 min. Stir in the onion, carrots, celery and mushrooms. Cook till tender, stirring occasionally, 10 min. Stir in the pimentos, bay leaf and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add in the stock mix and wild rice to the pot. Simmer over medium-low heat, 20 to 30 min, adding more stock if the soup becomes dry. Stir in the half-and-half and heat to serving temperature. The soup will be thick. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
