Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion diced
  • 16 oz. mushrooms chopped
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken stock/broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups cooked wild rice
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken such as rotisserie

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt the butter (2 tablespoons) in a large pot and sauté the onions over medium high heat, until softened and starting to brown.
  2. Add the mushrooms (16 oz.), salt, and pepper; stir to coat, and sauté for 5-10 minutes (or until most of the liquid has evaporated). Don't stir too much to allow for the mushrooms to brown and really release their liquid and develop flavor.
  3. Sprinkle the flour (1/4 cup) on the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Add the broth (4 cups) and milk (2 cups), rice, and chicken.
  4. Heat until thickened; about 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Adding salt: This recipe requires salt to taste. The amount of salt you need to add can vary quite a bit based on what kind of broth you use. For example, a homemade or low sodium chicken broth may need quite a bit of added salt, but a Better than Bouillon roasted chicken base may not require any added salt.
  • The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
