Description
This comforting soup features tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and nutty wild rice in a rich, creamy broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups wild rice, cooked
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic; sauté until softened and mushrooms have released their liquid, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in the kosher salt, black pepper, and all-purpose flour; cook for 1 minute to create a light roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, scraping browned bits from the bottom; bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add chicken breasts, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12–15 minutes.
- Remove chicken, shred it, and return to the pot.
- Stir in heavy cream and cooked wild rice; heat gently until warmed through. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.
