CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP



Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup image

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.

COPY-CAT PANERA CREAM OF CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP



Copy-Cat Panera Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup image

I literally CRAVE this amazing, hearty soup from Panera when the weather begins to chill.... this is the closest recipe I have found to theirs. The best part is, it's ready in less than an hour!! I've found that the reviews are right and have lessened the amount of flour; originally 1 cup; just use 1/2 or a bit more depending on how thick you like your soup (Panera's is VERY thick).

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h

Yield 1 pot of soup, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups chicken broth
2 chicken breast halves (cooked, boneless and cubed)
1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice blend, quick cooking version (You will use the seasoning packet. I used Uncle Bens roasted chicken flavor)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter (12 tbsp. or a stick and a half)
1 cup carrot, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup onion, diced
3 cups light cream (can lighten by substituting part or all of the cream with fat-free evaporated milk, or half-and-half)

Steps:

  • Open rice, pull out seasoning packet and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine pepper and flour. Set aside.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth and chicken. Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Cover and remove from heat.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add carrots, celery and onion and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in contents of seasoning packet, and continue cooking vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes more. Add seasoned flour gradually while constantly stirring, to form a roux. Saute roux for 3-4 minutes to cook out raw flour taste.
  • 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. Cook over medium heat until heated through and rice is done,15-20 minutes.
  • Alternatively, for those who cannot get the quick-cooking version of the rice, I have put the broth on to boil and cooked the 25-minute version of long grain and wild rice blend according to the directions, while sauteeing the veggies in the butter. I tend to cook the veggies longer this way, and I like them quite soft. I then follow the rest of the directions above, adding the rice/broth to the cream mixture. I've also used fat-free half and half with no appreciable difference in flavor. Enjoy!

CREAM OF CHICKEN & WILD RICE SOUP



Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup image

Inspired by a dish from a restaurant. If you use plain wild rice (the box usually comes with seasonings), you'll probably need to add some additional seasonings.

Provided by Starrynews

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (6 ounce) box long grain and wild rice blend
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
4 chicken tenderloins
2 tablespoons cornstarch
pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup onion
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup carrot, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup mushroom, sliced
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon sage

Steps:

  • Prepare rice according to package directions. The box I use usually runs about 25 minutes, so I usually give it a 10 minute head start and then start working on the rest.
  • In another pan, bring the chicken broth to a boil.
  • Cut the chicken into pieces and coat with the corn starch and pepper. Put chicken into the boiling broth and reduce heat to medium.
  • Add carrots, celery, and mushrooms to the broth mixture and let cook until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a small pan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add onions and saute until soft.
  • Stir in flour, coating onions and absorbing the butter.
  • Stir milk into flour mixture, and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  • When rice is done, add to the broth mixture and stir in rosemary and sage.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the broth mixture and heat through, stirring until thickened throughout.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the soup will be thinner.
  • Add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the soup for a bit of acidity.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Cream of wild rice soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try.
