Cozy up with Chicken Wild Rice Soup! Packed with rotisserie chicken, veggies, and creamy broth, it’s perfect for chilly days!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 large carrots, diced
  • 4 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8–10 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, and flour. Stir continuously for about 1–2 minutes to coat the vegetables.
  • Add the chicken broth and wild rice, stirring to combine.
  • Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 45–50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The wild rice should be tender but still have a slight chew.
  • Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and heavy whipping cream. Let the soup simmer, uncovered, for an additional 5–7 minutes, or just until the chicken is heated through and the soup has thickened slightly. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve warm.
