  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 23 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups wild rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 cups chicken stock (2 quarts)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 34 cups)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over low heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, wild rice, and flour; stir to combine and cook 1–2 minutes to lightly toast the rice and cook the flour.
  3. Slowly add chicken stock, stirring constantly. Add thyme and sage, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook 40–45 minutes until rice is nearly tender.
  4. Stir in shredded chicken and heavy cream; cook 5–10 minutes until chicken is heated through and rice is tender.
  5. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

  • For a thinner soup, add 1–2 cups extra chicken stock or water after adding the cream to reach desired consistency.
