How to Make Chicken Wild Rice Soup

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 1 tsp dried thyme. Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add 8 cups chicken broth, 1 cup wild rice, 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced), 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup chicken broth until smooth and no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer, cooking and stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup and 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional).
  6. Add the cooked rice and chicken mixture to the roux (the flour-butter mixture). Stir to combine.
  7. Heat through for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) before serving. Enjoy with crusty bread and a fresh salad!
