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.

CREAMY CHICKEN-WILD RICE SOUP



Creamy Chicken-Wild Rice Soup image

The boyfriend loves creamy chicken-rice soups, and this is my effort to that end. I like the addition of sherry and a dash of curry powder and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken (and presumably turkey). This soup will thicken up overnight; it can be thinned with more chicken stock without losing flavor; adjust salt and pepper to taste. Almonds are optional but add an interesting crunch; this soup is also "crockpot-able" if you prefer.

CREAMY TURKEY (OR CHICKEN) AND WILD RICE SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Poultry     Thanksgiving

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c. uncooked wild rice (I prefer the whole grain style, not the cracked)
1/2 c. unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, sliced into 1/4? thick coins
8 oz. fresh button mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
8 c. low sodium chicken broth
2 c. half and half

1/4 c. finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tsp. dried)
4 c. cooked and coarsely shredded turkey or chicken
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • First off, you'll want to get your wild rice cooking, so it's ready to add to the finished soup. Prepare according to the package instructions. (It takes awhile - the instructions on my bag says to cook it for 55 minutes.) The remainder of the recipe can be made in one stock pot. Start by melting the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic. Stir well and saute until the onion is transparent and softened. Blend in flour, cooking until it bubbles a bit. Gradually add the broth, stirring constantly. Turn up the heat a bit and bring the soup to a low boil. Boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat slightly and add the cooked wild rice, half and half, soy sauce, salt, pepper, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, and turkey or chicken. Simmer for 20 minutes or until thoroughly warmed. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and taste test to see if it needs more salt and pepper. Serve with crackers or warm bread.

A flavorful warming soup for a chilly, rainy day. And a nice meal for when you have dental work and need to eat soft foods! I wanted a soft food for after having some dental work done. This soup was full of flavor, comforting and very satisfying! Hope you enjoy!

Provided by Diane Atherton

Categories     Turkey Soups

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (4.5-oz) wild rice mix (i used mahatma long grain and wild rice with seasonings)
1 1/2 to 2 lb chicken (i used 4 thighs with skin and 1 large boneless/skinless breast)
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
all purpose seasoning (i used everglades)
garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
6 to 7 c chicken stock,( can use broth or water with bouillon cubes)
2 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 large celery stalks, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp thyme, dried
1 (8-oz) pkg sliced fresh mushrooms
addtional oil/grease if needed
1/3 c all purpose flour
1 c half and half

Steps:

  • 1. Cook rice according to directions on package; set aside.
  • 2. Add broth to a large pot and bring to boil over a medium heat. You can add salt and pepper to season. Be careful to not over salt. You can always add additional seasoning at the end of cooking.
  • 3. Remove any skin and excess fat from chicken pieces; sprinkle pieces with seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder,and everglade seasoning). NOTE: If you have chicken skin you can cook/fry it down in a seperate skillet for the grease that can be used later to make a roux that will thicken the soup.
  • 4. NOTE: Don't bypass this step. Searing the chicken (most especially the breast) will make it nice and moist in the end. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and brown on all sides. Once browned, remove from skillet and add to boiling broth. (NOTE: Reserve drippings from skillet to saute veggies). Continue cooking chicken in broth until it is cooked through and tender.
  • 5. Once chicken is cooked and tender, remove from broth and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut into bite size pieces, discarding any bones. Return chicken pieces back to hot broth.
  • 6. Meanwhile; add chopped vegetable (onions, carrots, celery and garlic) to hot skillet; saute until onions are tender.
  • 7. With slotted spoon, remove veggies from skillet (again reserving any drippings) and add to broth. Add thyme and mushrooms to broth. Continue cooking until carrots are tender.
  • 8. To the skillet add additional oil/grease to have about 3 to 4 tablespoons of oil/grease in skillet. Heat over a medium heat. When oil is hot, add flour; whisk to make a smooth paste. Add cream and continue whisking. As roux/gravy thickens, ladle some of the broth from pot into gravy. Continue whisking until smooth and thickened. Pour gravy/roux into hot broth. This will thicken the soup making it a creamy soup. If you don't want a creamy soup, you can leave this step out.
  • 9. Add cooked rice to soup, continue to heat another minute or 2 and then serve with your favorite bread. We love a nice crusty roll.
  • 10. NOTE: You can used pre-cooked chicken if you like. Chicken you've picked up at the deli or oven roasted would work well. If you use pre-cooked, add it to the soup when you add the rice.
