I'm originally from Minnesota, where wild rice grows in abundance and is very popular in recipes. This creamy chicken and wild rice soup has been part of our Christmas Eve menu for years.

CHICKEN WILD RICE SOUP I
A slight variation on a recipe I received from a fellow Minnesota farm wife. A delicious soup that can also easily be cooked in a slow cooker and freezes well.

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM, AND RICE SOUP
They say chicken soup is good for the soul, but when you factor in the addition of mushrooms, onions, and garlic, and the always comforting effects of rice, this soup is good for a lot more things than just your soul--like your wallet, for example! Serve topped with sour cream, thyme leaves, and diced red onion.

Steps:
- Place chicken, carrot, celery, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot. Add 4 quarts of cold water, or enough to cover the chicken. Bring to a simmer on high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently until the meat can be easily pulled off the bones and is no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the meat and bones to a bowl and allow to cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Leave the stockpot over low heat. Separate the meat from the bones and skin and break it up into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Transfer the bones and skin back to the stockpot and continue to simmer on low until needed.
- Melt butter in a soup pot over medium-high heat until it starts to brown. Add mushrooms and salt; saute until mushrooms are well browned. Add garlic and diced onion and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain in 4 cups of the chicken broth from the stockpot and bring to a simmer. Add black pepper, cayenne, and thyme. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed; remove thyme stems. Stir in the chicken meat and a few more cups of the chicken broth to achieve the desired texture. The soup will continue to thicken as the rice swells, so more may be needed if you want a thinner soup.
- Let simmer until chicken is heated through and has absorbed the flavors, and rice is fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Taste one last time for seasoning. Adjust with more broth as needed. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large soup pot and add the onions, carrots, celery and garlic.
- Saute until soft.
- Add the rice, stock, bay leaves and thyme.
- Simmer, covered, for one hour.
- Add the wine, chicken, mushrooms and seasonings (I continue to simmer until all ingredients are hot although the recipe doesn't say to do this).
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, organic chicken, wild rice, and mushrooms will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or rice to the pot, the soup will be too thick and bland. Cook the chicken and rice separately if necessary.
- Season the soup well: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the soup, such as thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. You can also add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Let the soup simmer for a long time: The longer the soup simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Aim for at least 1 hour, or even longer if you have time.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for chicken soup include croutons, shredded cheese, chopped parsley, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
Chicken soup with wild rice and mushrooms is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a cold winter day.
