Chicken Wild Rice Soup is an easy, healthy dish to whip up on a chilly day! It’s full of veggies and contains no cream (or dairy), which makes it lower in calories. You can use either chicken or turkey in this meal (and add any veggies you happen to have on hand). It’s an easy weeknight soup, perfect served with crusty bread and salad, that will be enjoyed by the whole family, no doubt!
This recipe uses just wild rice, not a wild rice mixture or blend. You will find the wild rice in the grocery store near the other rice products and will likely notice it can be a little bit pricey. For wild rice, it increases in bulk quite a bit and a little goes a long way for both quantity and flavor. If you don’t want to buy the whole package for this recipe, check the bulk area and you can purchase just the amount needed. Not only is this soup loaded with flavor, the chicken is full of protein and we’re always looking for ways to eat more veggies! All of the ingredients are affordable and even leftovers from other meals can be used (grilled chicken, leftover turkey, rotisserie chicken… all of them are perfect in this dish)!
While I do have a rich and creamy version of Chicken Wild Rice Soup, I do really love this a dairy free version. Either of these soups will be the perfect recipe for the cold (and possibly cold) season. Without the addition of heavy cream, this version is much lower in calories but doesn’t skimp on flavor. It keeps for a few days in the fridge or freezes beautifully in case there are leftovers – but I doubt that’ll happen because everyone will want seconds!
