How To Make cream of chicken and wild rice soup

Test Kitchen Tips

In step 3, we used a rice cooker to cook the wild rice instead of the stovetop option.

Step 1

In a large skillet, add 1/4 cup butter, onion, celery, carrots, sage, salt, and pepper to taste. Sauté till onions are turning translucent.

Step 2

Add chicken breast and continue to cook until meat turns white.
Step 3

In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add rice and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked.
Step 4

Combine vegetable and chicken mix, rice, mushrooms, and chicken broth in a large soup kettle. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Add cream and parsley. Heat just to boiling point. (Don't Boil.)
Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining butter and add flour to make a roux. Slowly whisk the roux into the soup mixture to thicken. Enjoy!
