Scale

  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup wild rice (or a blend of rice including wild rice)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken, cooked and diced or shredded
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon butter, then add diced onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme. Cook until vegetables are softened.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Add wild rice and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until rice is tender, about 40 minutes.

Notes

Using a variety of mushrooms enhances the flavor complexity. Parmesan cheese adds a rich umami depth to the broth. This soup can be made ahead and reheated gently to preserve creaminess.
