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.

COPY-CAT PANERA CREAM OF CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP



Copy-Cat Panera Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup image

I literally CRAVE this amazing, hearty soup from Panera when the weather begins to chill.... this is the closest recipe I have found to theirs. The best part is, it's ready in less than an hour!! I've found that the reviews are right and have lessened the amount of flour; originally 1 cup; just use 1/2 or a bit more depending on how thick you like your soup (Panera's is VERY thick).

Provided by Raquel Grinnell

Categories     Chowders

Time 1h

Yield 1 pot of soup, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups chicken broth
2 chicken breast halves (cooked, boneless and cubed)
1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice blend, quick cooking version (You will use the seasoning packet. I used Uncle Bens roasted chicken flavor)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter (12 tbsp. or a stick and a half)
1 cup carrot, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup onion, diced
3 cups light cream (can lighten by substituting part or all of the cream with fat-free evaporated milk, or half-and-half)

Steps:

  • Open rice, pull out seasoning packet and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine pepper and flour. Set aside.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth and chicken. Bring to a boil, then stir in rice. Cover and remove from heat.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add carrots, celery and onion and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in contents of seasoning packet, and continue cooking vegetables until softened, about 5 minutes more. Add seasoned flour gradually while constantly stirring, to form a roux. Saute roux for 3-4 minutes to cook out raw flour taste.
  • Whisk in cream, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth. Cook until thickened, 5 minutes.
  • Stir cream mixture into broth and rice. Cook over medium heat until heated through and rice is done,15-20 minutes.
  • Alternatively, for those who cannot get the quick-cooking version of the rice, I have put the broth on to boil and cooked the 25-minute version of long grain and wild rice blend according to the directions, while sauteeing the veggies in the butter. I tend to cook the veggies longer this way, and I like them quite soft. I then follow the rest of the directions above, adding the rice/broth to the cream mixture. I've also used fat-free half and half with no appreciable difference in flavor. Enjoy!

(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.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND WILD RICE SOUP

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.

Provided by Lvs2Cook

Categories     Rice

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups onions, peeled and diced
2 cups carrots, diced
2 cups celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and diced
1 cup wild rice
8 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups cooked chicken
2 cups fresh mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
salt and pepper
fresh parsley (to garnish)

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, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Look for organic, free-range chicken and wild rice, and use fresh vegetables and herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken and rice to the pot, it will be difficult for the soup to come to a boil and the ingredients will not cook evenly. Add the chicken and rice in batches, if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender. You can simmer the soup for longer if you want a more flavorful broth.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar to brighten the flavor.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: Chopped fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a dollop of sour cream are all great ways to garnish wild rice and chicken soup.

Conclusion:

Wild rice and chicken soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. With its nutty flavor and tender texture, wild rice adds a unique twist to this classic soup. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying soup, give wild rice and chicken soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
