chicken and wild rice soup

How To Make chicken and wild rice soup

• Step 1
  Place chicken breast (I used frozen ones unthawed), celery, carrots, onion, and spices in a large stock pot. Note: Badia is the brand of seasoning I use because I like that brand best but any brand will do.
• Step 2
  Add about 4 cups water and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
• Step 3
  Remove chicken and shred. In a bowl mix the soups together and add enough of the stock from the pot to make a thick cream consistency.
• Step 4
  Put the shredded chicken and the soup mixture back into the pot. Taste to see if you need to add more spices.
• Step 5
  Add 1 cup wild rice and cook covered for 25 minutes or until rice is cooked.
• Step 6
  Put broccoli in a strainer and run hot water over it. Add broccoli to the soup the last 3-4 minutes as the rice cooks.
• Step 7
  You can stir 1/2 cup half-and-half into the soup and allow to heat for a few minutes then serve.
