Creamy Mushroom Chicken and Wild Rice Soup



Ingredients:


2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained

6 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Directions:


Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they release their juices and begin to brown.

Stir in the wild rice, shredded chicken, chicken broth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 45-50 minutes until the rice is tender.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste and turns slightly golden.

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, making sure there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the cream mixture to the soup pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to blend the flavors.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
