Ingredients

For the Soup Base:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter – For sautéing the vegetables.
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped – Adds a robust, aromatic base.
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced – Enhances the flavor with its subtle, garlicky warmth.
  • 2 medium carrots, diced – Provides a hint of sweetness and a pop of color.
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped – Brings earthy depth and crunch to the soup.
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced – Any variety works, but cremini or button mushrooms are perfect for their rich flavor.

For the Protein and Grains:

  • 2 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded) – Use rotisserie chicken for convenience or freshly cooked chicken for a personalized touch.
  • 1 cup wild rice (uncooked) – Adds a nutty, chewy texture that complements the creaminess.

For the Broth and Seasonings:

  • 6 cups chicken broth – Homemade or store-bought, opt for low-sodium to control the saltiness.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme – Infuses the soup with a subtle, herbal aroma.
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary – Adds warmth and depth to the flavor.
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste – Adjust according to your preferences.

For the Creamy Finish:

  • 1 cup heavy cream – Gives the soup its signature rich and creamy texture.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional) – For thickening, if desired.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional) – For a touch of cheesy richness.
