Hearty Chicken-Wild Rice Broth Cook-Up

Dive into the cozy comfort of a hearty, vegetable-packed chicken soup! This wild rice-filled version will surely keep the chill at bay.

Shopping List: We've utilized a mix of wild and white rice from the store, but feel free to swap it out for your favorite unseasoned rice blend. For more chicken soup twists, check out our tortilla soup recipe.

  • Servings: approximately 8 to 10 bowls
  • Difficulty: A breeze to whip up!
  • Preparation Time: Approximately 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: Around 40 minutes

Grocery List (10 items)

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • A large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 large celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 12 cups (3 quarts) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups wild rice blend
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley

Steps

  1. Warm up the oil in a big pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook, occasionally stirring, till the onion softens, approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Pour in the broth and rice, season with salt, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the rice tenderizes but still has a touch of firmness, around 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken, season with freshly ground black pepper, and continue to simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, around 10 minutes. Take the pot off the heat, throw in the parsley, taste, and season with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Bonus Pairing: Enhance the comforting flavors with a glass of Kim Crawford Unoaked Chardonnay, from New Zealand. The easy-going apple, citrus, and stone-fruit flavors, accompanied by a hint of acidity and a pleasing viscosity, make for an exceptional match[1].
