2 Instructions

Add the chicken breasts, wild rice, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and stir gently to combine.

Cover and cook on HIGH for 3.5 to 4 hours or on LOW for 6 to 7 hours, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts to a cutting board. Shred the chicken with two forks and return the meat to the slow cooker.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and cook until the mixture thickens into a heavy sauce.

Stir the cream mixture into the slow cooker and mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover and let sit for another 10-15 minutes on low to allow the soup to thicken before serving.

·
Do not use 'instant' wild rice; use a high-quality wild rice blend for the best texture.
·
To save time, use a store-bought mirepoix mix (pre-cut onions, carrots, and celery).
·
If the soup is too thick, add an extra splash of chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency.
·
For a lower-fat version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.

? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Can I freeze this soup?

Yes, but be aware that dairy-based soups can separate slightly when thawed. Reheat gently and stir well.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Is wild rice gluten-free?

Wild rice is naturally gluten-free, but if you have a sensitivity, ensure your chicken broth and flour substitute are also certified gluten-free.
