Description

A comforting and hearty soup made with tender chicken, earthy wild rice, and fresh vegetables, all enveloped in a creamy broth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 3 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing all your ingredients. Chop the onion, dice the carrots and celery, and mince the garlic.
  2. Add the chicken breasts, wild rice, chopped onion, diced carrots, diced celery, minced garlic, chicken broth, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper to a large pot or slow cooker.
