🥣 Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

A warm, comforting soup filled with tender chicken, earthy wild rice, veggies, and a rich, creamy broth — perfect for cooler nights or meal prepping.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp butter

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 2 carrots, diced

• 2 celery stalks, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp salt (more to taste)

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 6 cups chicken broth

• 1 cup uncooked wild rice (or a wild rice blend)

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

• 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

• 2 tbsp flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the veggies:

   • In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.

   • Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook 5–7 minutes until soft.

   • Add garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook another 1–2 minutes.

2. Simmer:

   • Add broth and wild rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

   • Cover and cook for 40–45 minutes, or until rice is tender.

3. Add chicken:

   • Stir in the cooked chicken and simmer another 5 minutes.

4. Make it creamy:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together cream and flour (if using), then stir into the soup.

   • Simmer uncovered for another 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Taste and serve:

   • Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm with crusty bread or a side salad.

✅ Tips & Variations:

• Want it dairy-free? Use coconut milk or omit the cream.

• Add mushrooms for more earthy depth.

• Swap chicken for turkey after the holidays.
