Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or substitute with milk or non-dairy alternative)
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley (Optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add dried thyme, dried parsley, and black pepper, followed by the chicken broth. Bring mixture to a boil.
  4. Add wild rice. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and let simmer for about 30 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  5. Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas. Allow to heat through for about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Taste and add salt as needed.
  7. Remove from heat. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

This soup can be made lighter by using milk or a non-dairy alternative. It pairs well with crusty bread or a green salad.
