Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 carrots, peeled and diced
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon fresh sage, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
1 cup wild rice (uncooked)
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Coat chicken breasts in salt and pepper, then cover in flour. Reserve excess flour for later.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven that can contain entire soup (about 8 cups). Add chicken to pot and cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Chicken will not be cooked through. Remove chicken from pot, leaving oil behind.
  • Add diced onions and carrots. Sauté for 2 to 4 minutes over medium heat or until vegetables are softened.
  • Stir in mushrooms, minced garlic, and flour until combined. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes over medium-low heat.
  • Pour in chicken broth, stirring bottom of pot as you add broth to release any small bits that have stuck. Bring liquid to a boil.
  • Add chicken, sage, thyme, and wild rice. Cover pot, reduce heat to low, and cook for 45 minutes or until rice is tender.
  • Remove lid and take out chicken breasts. Chop or shred
  • Return chicken back to pot, then stir in heavy cream. Cook for another 5 minutes over medium-low heat until soup is heated through and slightly thickened. (If you like a thicker soup you can whisk together another 1/4 cup of flour with 3 tablespoons of water, then whisk into soup until thickened.)
  • Add more salt and pepper to taste and serve topped with chopped parsley.

CHICKEN WILD RICE SOUP

I'm originally from Minnesota, where wild rice grows in abundance and is very popular in recipes. This creamy chicken and wild rice soup has been part of our Christmas Eve menu for years. To save time, I cook the chicken and wild rice and cut up the vegetables the day before. -Virginia Montmarquet, Riverside, California
