Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium chicken breast cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup wild rice uncooked
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • whisk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, combine chicken broth and wild rice; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender (about 20-25 minutes).
  2. While the rice cooks, melt butter in a separate large skillet over medium heat, then add diced carrots, celery, and onion and sauté until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Stir in the flour to the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1 minute, ensuring it forms a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk the cooked rice and broth mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, bringing the soup to a gentle simmer while stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, heavy cream, salt, and pepper, then continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the soup is heated through and slightly thickened.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried thyme or a bay leaf to the soup while it simmers.
