This is one of my favorite soups. Creamy and full of flavors! I got this recipe from Midwest Living Soups and stews inset. I have been making it now for years. A wonderful combination of flavors! Total comfort food!

Categories     Cream Soups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c uncooked wild rice
1 3-4 pound whole chicken
12 oz mushrooms (portabella or any you like)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 c chopped onion
1 c chopped celery
6 chicken bullion cubes (or 2 tablespoons instant)
3/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 c butter
1/2 c all purpose flour
4 c milk
3/4 c dry white wine

Steps:

  • 1. Cook wild rice according to directions except cook for only 30 minutes. Drain and set aside
  • 2. Combine whole chicken and 7 cups of water in large pan. Cook chicken until fully cooked. Remove chicken keeping the broth in the pan. De-bone the chicken meat and set aside. ( you can boil the chicken and de-bone it while the wild rice is cooking)
  • 3. Cook mushrooms in hot oil for 4-5 minutes till tender. Add onion and celery. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes until tender, stirring once. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Add wild rice to broth stir in bullion,white pepper and salt to taste. Bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes.
  • 5. In the same sauce pan that the wild rice cooked, melt the 1 stick of butter. Stir in flour all at once and whisk until smooth. Add milk all at once and stir constantly until thickened and bubbly. This will take a few minutes, but once it starts to thicken it goes quickly. Do not burn!
  • 6. Stir flour milk mixture into chicken broth, Stirring to blend. Add reserved chopped chicken and wine. Heat through. As with all soups, this gets better as it stands.
