What You’ll Need For Chicken Wild Rice Soup
Chicken: I use rotisserie chicken or leftovers. You can also chop chicken breast, lightly brown it in olive oil, and let it simmer in the soup for the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
Wild Rice Blend: This recipe uses a wild rice blend—select a blend that says it simmers for 40 to 45 minutes, such as Lundberg Wild Rice Blend. If using a blend that is ready in 15 to 20 minutes, reduce the broth by ½ cup and simmer the rice and vegetables for 15 minutes before adding the chicken and cream.
Vegetables: I add carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms for lots of flavor.
Variations: This chicken wild rice soup recipe is perfect for tossing leftover rice or veggies from the fridge. desired.
