The prep time for this healthy wild rice soup recipe is around 20 minutes. You will need to chop the vegetables, shred the chicken, and measure out the ingredients.

Cook Time

The cook time for this soup is approximately 45 minutes. The wild rice takes longer to cook than regular rice, so it is important to plan accordingly.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large pot
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Add the wild rice, chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil.

Notes

  • If you don't have cooked chicken, you can use uncooked chicken breasts or thighs. Simply add them to the pot with the vegetables and let them cook until they are done. Remove them from the pot, shred the meat, and then add it back to the pot when the wild rice is tender.
  • You can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth if you want to make this soup vegetarian.
  • If you want a creamier soup, you can add a cup of milk or cream at the end of the cooking time.
