  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28.25 g)
  • 16 ounces mushrooms (453.59 g), a mix of shiitake and baby portobello, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (15 g)
  • 3 cups chicken stock (709.77 ml)
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (453.59 g)
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 cup heavy cream (236.59 ml)
  • 3 cups wild rice (492 g), cooked

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the onions turn translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until combined. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock. Add the chicken breasts, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  3. Remove the cooked chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and cooked wild rice.
  4. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, skip the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken stock. Add extra vegetables like carrots or spinach for more nutrition.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk and use a dairy-free butter substitute.
  • For added greens, stir in some fresh spinach or kale towards the end of cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze the soup for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Reheat gently on the stove.
