Creamy Turkey & Wild Rice Soup

I've really been slacking this Thanksgiving vacation on my recipes. I think I need to post 2 soups and 3 cookies to get caught up :)
This is another turkey soup recipe, it sounds yummy.
4 cups COLLEGE INN® Turkey Broth
2 cups water
3 cups shredded cooked turkey
1 (4.5 ounce) package quick cooking long grain and wild rice with seasoning packet
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup Del Monte® canned peas

In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, water and turkey. Bring just to boiling, then stir in rice, reserving seasoning packet. Cover and remove from heat.

In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper and flour. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in contents of seasoning packet until mixture is bubbly. Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour mixture by tablespoons, to form a roux. Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.

Stir cream mixture into broth and rice; add peas. Cook over medium heat until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
