Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe is approximately 20 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe is approximately 35 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked wild rice
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave the bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Add the onion, celery, and carrots to the pot and cook until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually stir in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add the wild rice and thyme, and bring the soup to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat and simmer the soup, covered, for 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  6. Add the cooked chicken and heavy cream to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the reserved bacon.

Notes

  • If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, you can use rotisserie chicken or cook and shred 2 chicken breasts.
  • If you want a thicker soup, add more flour to the vegetables before adding the chicken broth.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • If you want to make this soup ahead of time, prepare it up until adding the cooked chicken and heavy cream. Store the soup and chicken/cream separately in the refrigerator, then reheat and combine before serving.
