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.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients Ahead: Chop vegetables, measure seasonings, and rinse rice beforehand to save time during cooking.
  • Use Unsalted Broth: Control the saltiness of the soup by using unsalted broth and adding salt to taste.
  • Add Vegetables Last: Vegetables cook quickly, so add them towards the end of cooking to maintain their texture and nutrients.
  • Cook Rice Separately: Pre-cook the wild rice separately, as it takes longer to cook than other ingredients.
  • Adjust Milk and Cheese: Add milk and cheese gradually and taste as you go to achieve your desired consistency and flavor.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Top with fresh herbs, croutons, or grated Parmesan cheese just before serving for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.

Creamy wild rice soup is a delectable and versatile dish that combines the nutty flavor of wild rice with creamy broth, tender vegetables, and a touch of cheese.
