Print Recipe

A warm and hearty Chicken Wild Rice Soup filled with tender chicken, nutty wild rice, and vibrant veggies in a creamy broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups diced boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 cup cream (heavy or half-and-half)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or parsley, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil, then toss in onions and garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add the veggies: Stir in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Introduce the chicken: Add the diced chicken and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to lose its pinkness.
  4. Incorporate the grain: Mix in the wild rice and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Pour in the broth: Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and let it cook for 30-40 minutes until the wild rice is tender.
  6. Finish with cream: Stir in the cream and allow it to warm up.
  7. Season to taste: Adjust with salt and pepper as needed, and consider stirring in lemon juice or hot sauce.
  8. Prep for serving: Let it sit for a few minutes and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Consider adding greens or a spicy kick with jalapeños for variety. This soup can be frozen; just cool before transferring to containers.
