Ingredients
- 3/4 cup uncooked wild rice blend see note
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tick celery chopped finely
- 2 medium carrots peeled & chopped finely
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1 pound uncooked chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces/strips
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 small handful chopped fresh parsley optional but recommended
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil, butter, celery, carrots, and onions to a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until softened and lightly browned. If it starts to brown too much, turn the heat down a bit.
- Stir in the garlic and flour and cook for about a minute.
- Slowly pour in the broth and stir/scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot until the flour has dissolved.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, cream, chicken, and cooked rice. Increase the heat to high, and once the soup comes to a gentle boil, give it a good stir, then reduce the heat so it's simmering and cover the pot with the lid slightly open. Simmer the soup for 8-10 minutes.
- Season with salt & pepper as needed (I am generous with both) and stir in the chopped parsley if using.
Notes
- can vary depending on whether you're using true wild rice that isn't parboiled or a wild rice blend, so keep in mind this can take up to an hour or so depending on what brand you use.
- Wild rice cooking time can vary depending on whether you're using true wild rice that isn't parboiled or a wild rice blend, so keep in mind this can take up to an hour or so depending on what brand you use.
- Recipes serves 4-6 depending how much people eat/what it's served with.
- 1 pound of chicken breasts usually works out to 2 medium chicken breasts (a bit less or more than a pound is fine).
