A warm and comforting chicken and wild rice soup, perfect for a chilly autumn day. This recipe is inspired by a journey of flavors and experiences.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup wild rice blend, uncooked
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
  2. Add the uncooked wild rice blend to the pot and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Stir in the thyme and rosemary.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. If using, stir in the heavy cream for a richer soup. Heat through but do not boil.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth.
  • You can use pre-cooked chicken if you’re short on time.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or peas.
