Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice uncooked
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast boneless and skinless
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 3 stalks celery sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken broth, chicken breast, wild rice, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  • Remove the chicken from the soup and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 5 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
