Ingredients

  • 7 cups quality chicken bone broth divided
  • 8 oz mushrooms chopped
  • 1 large onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon or Better than Bouillon
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 cups COOKED wild rice blend
  • 2 cups chicken cooked and shredded (rotisserie works great)
  • ¼ cup butter cut into pieces
  • 2 ½ TB cornstarch fully dissolved in 2 TB water*
  • 1 cup half and half

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy stockpot, combine 6 cups chicken broth, mushrooms, onion, celery, carrots, bouillon, black pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Stir to combine well and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer. Cover and simmer 30 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter on medium heat. Whisk in fully-dissolved cornstarch well, until smooth. Pour mixture into the stockpot of soup, stirring. Bring it back to a boil and stir for a few minutes or just until slightly thickened. Carefully whisk in the half and half and remaining 1 cup of broth.
  3. Gently add in the cooked wild rice blend. Add the cooked shredded chicken. Simmer just to heat through and remove from heat after soup is heated through - don't keep cooking the rice or it will start to break down. Serve hot, with gluten-free bread or crackers. 

Notes

  • If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating ♡
  • It's essential that the cornstarch is fully dissolved prior to using in the recipe; any trace of undissolved cornstarch powder may result in lumpy bits. 
  • If you don't have half and half available to you, you can use a mixture of heavy cream and milk.
