Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add carrots, celery, and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add broth, chicken, rice, and 1 1/2 cups water to pan. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cover. Cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, shred with two forks.
- Meanwhile, continue to cook soup, uncovered, until rice is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Return chicken to pan; simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. (To store, place in airtight containers, and refrigerate up to 2 days; reheat over medium, about 10 minutes.)
CHICKEN WILD RICE SOUP I
A slight variation on a recipe I received from a fellow Minnesota farm wife. A delicious soup that can also easily be cooked in a slow cooker and freezes well.

CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Coat chicken breasts in salt and pepper, then cover in flour. Reserve excess flour for later.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven that can contain entire soup (about 8 cups). Add chicken to pot and cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Chicken will not be cooked through. Remove chicken from pot, leaving oil behind.
- Add diced onions and carrots. Sauté for 2 to 4 minutes over medium heat or until vegetables are softened.
- Stir in mushrooms, minced garlic, and flour until combined. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes over medium-low heat.
- Pour in chicken broth, stirring bottom of pot as you add broth to release any small bits that have stuck. Bring liquid to a boil.
- Add chicken, sage, thyme, and wild rice. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook for 45 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Remove lid and take out chicken breasts. Chop or shred
- Return chicken back to pot, then stir in heavy cream. Cook for another 5 minutes over medium-low heat until soup is heated through and slightly thickened. (If you like a thicker soup you can whisk together another 1/4 cup of flour with 3 tablespoons of water, then whisk into soup until thickened.)
- Add more salt and pepper to taste and serve topped with chopped parsley.

CHICKEN WILD RICE SOUP
I'm originally from Minnesota, where wild rice grows in abundance and is very popular in recipes. This creamy chicken and wild rice soup has been part of our Christmas Eve menu for years. To save time, I cook the chicken and wild rice and cut up the vegetables the day before. -Virginia Montmarquet, Riverside, California

CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP
A supremely filling, hearty soup. I serve this on cold rainy days with a loaf of homemade bread. Hint: this is perfect for leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken you've pulled from the bone after making homemade chicken stock! This soup makes great leftovers, but you might want to thin it slightly with skim milk or water when reheating.

CHICKEN AND WILD-RICE SOUP
Steps:
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onion, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, rice, and the water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook 35 minutes.
- Add chicken, carrots, and celery. Return to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook (uncovered) until vegetables are tender and chicken is opaque throughout, about 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a cutting board. Shred with two forks.
- Return chicken to pot; season soup with salt and pepper. At this point, soup can be refrigerated up to 2 days in an airtight container; let cool completely before storing. Reheat gently before serving.
- Rice Blends
- Wild-rice blends, which often combine wild rice with white, brown, basmati, and other types of rice, tend to have a more complex flavor and texture than any one variety. You can substitute a blend in any recipe that calls for wild rice.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Brown the chicken before adding it to the soup. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a combination of chicken broth and water to make the soup. This will help to create a flavorful broth without being too salty.
- Add the wild rice to the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will prevent it from becoming overcooked.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Chicken wild rice soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a winter meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to warm you up on a cold day. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chicken wild rice soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
