Ingredients
  

Soup Aromatics & Roux
  • 4 tbsp unsalted European butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Broth, Rice & Chicken
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken bone broth
  • 1 cup wild rice blend (rinsed)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream or half-and-half
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Method
 

Sauté & Make Roux
  1. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté diced onion, carrots, and celery for 6-8 minutes until tender. Add minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir constantly for 2 minutes to cook out raw flour taste and form a velvety roux.
Simmer & Finish
  1. Slowly whisk in chicken broth to prevent lumps. Add wild rice blend, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender.
  2. Stir in shredded chicken and heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until heated through and thickened. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and parsley, and serve hot.
