Print Recipe

This creamy chicken and wild rice soup is a hearty and comforting meal perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In the same saucepan, cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the wild rice to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add the chicken broth to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the cooked chicken and mushrooms back into the saucepan.
  6. Simmer the soup over low heat until heated through, about 5-10 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

For a creamier soup, use more heavy cream. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or celery for added flavor and nutrition.
