  • Author: Lordibra
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 35 minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup wild rice
– 2 cups chopped mushrooms (your choice: cremini, button, or shiitake)
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating the Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove from the pot and set aside to cool.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add a little more oil if necessary. Sauté the diced onions for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.

3. Add the Rice: Stir in the wild rice and mix it well with the veggies.

4. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Cook the Chicken: While the broth is heating up, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Once the broth reaches a boil, reduce the heat, and add the shredded chicken back into the pot.

6. Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender.

7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream to give the soup its creamy texture. Mix well and heat through.

8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed.

9. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright touch.

These steps will guide you to create this incredible Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Wild Rice Soup effortlessly.
