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.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, organic vegetables and free-range chicken will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the soup will become watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, and cook them until they are tender before adding the next batch.
  • Season the soup well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for chicken and wild rice soup. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Shredded chicken, diced carrots, chopped celery, and crumbled bacon are all popular toppings for chicken and wild rice soup.
