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.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3/4 cup uncooked wild rice blend*
1 cup chopped yellow onion ((1 small onion))
1 cup diced carrots ((2 medium))
1 cup diced celery ((3 ribs))
7 Tbsp butter, (diced, divided)
1 large garlic clove, (minced (1 1/2 tsp))
4 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 tsp of each dried thyme, (marjoram, sage and rosemary (or 1 tsp fresh, minced of any))
Salt and ground black pepper, (to taste)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts halves
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp lemon zest

Steps:

Prepare rice according to directions listed on package.
Halfway through the rice cooking, in a separate large pot, melt 1 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and saute 4 minutes, add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
Add chicken broth, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken and bring mixture to a boil.
Cover pot with lid, reduce to medium-low heat and allow mixture to simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 - 16 minutes (rotating chicken to opposite side once during cooking for thicker chicken breasts - if they don't fully immerse in broth).
Remove chicken and set aside on cutting board to cool 5 minutes then shred into small bite size pieces. Leave soup covered over warm heat.
Meanwhile in a separate medium saucepan, melt remaining 6 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook 1 1/2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Then while whisking vigorously, slowly pour milk into butter/flour mixture. Whisk in heavy cream. Cook mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens.
Add milk mixture to soup mixture in pot along with shredded chicken, cooked rice, and lemon zest. Stir well and remove from heat.
Let soup cool slightly and serve.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups cooked wild rice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon small diced carrot
1 tablespoon small diced celery
1 tablespoon small diced onion
1 tablespoon small diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons small diced crimini mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add the vegetables and saute for 4 to 5 minutes. Season with the salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir in the cream and add the cooked wild rice and the mustard. Combine well and reduce the heat. Simmer until the cream has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust seasoning, if necessary, stir in the parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic chicken broth, fresh vegetables, and wild rice will make a big difference in the final soup.
Don't overcrowd the pot. If you're using a small pot, cook the chicken and vegetables in batches.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
