1 pound chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup wild rice
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 celery stalks, diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Cook the Wild Rice: In a medium saucepan, follow the package instructions to cook the wild rice. Once cooked, set it aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
Stir in the Chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the pot. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
Incorporate Wild Rice: Add the cooked wild rice to the soup, stirring well.
Finish with Cream: Stir in the heavy cream, adjusting the amount based on your preferred richness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Allow the soup to heat through for a couple more minutes, then ladle it into bowls and enjoy!
