Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
fromeasydelightrecipes.comeasydelightrecipes.com/chicken-and-wild-rice-soup
This isn't just any soup—it's the kind that makes you want seconds (and maybe thirds) because it's loaded with tender chicken, nutty wild rice, and a creamy broth that practically hugs you from the inside out.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your soup pot or Dutch Oven to medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely. Add diced carrots, onions, and celery. Sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the flour to your pot and stir constantly for about 2 minutes until the raw flour smell disappears and it starts to smell slightly nutty.
Add wild rice and cubed chicken breast to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, then pour all 8 cups of chicken broth over the top. Give it a good stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
Let your soup simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the wild rice reaches your desired tenderness and the chicken is cooked through.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while continuously stirring to prevent curdling and create an even, silky texture.
Let the soup cook for about 5 more minutes on medium-low heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve piping hot.
