EASY CHICKEN WILD RICE SOUP 

Are you looking for an easy and delicious soup recipe? You’ve got to try this homemade wild rice soup.

We received this soup as a freezer meal when my daughter was a baby and now 8 years later, it is still one of my family’s favorite soup. (Along with this 15-minute Taco Soup recipe.)

this awesome idea!

Wild rice soup is the ultimate comfort food on a snowy, cold day.

However, you don’t need snow to enjoy this delicious soup.

INGREDIENTS 

What I love about this creamy chicken wild rice soup is that the ingredients are very basic…and most of the time I have them all on hand. 

So if you are ever in the predicament of “what’s for dinner?” you can whip this creamy rice soup up in no time, without needing to get any fancy ingredients from the store. 

• Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice Soup box (about 88 cents per box)
• Carrots
• Onions
• Chicken broth
• flour
• Shredded cooked chicken (keep some cooked in the freezer)
• Cream, half & half or evaporated milk 

HOW TO MAKE CREAMY CHICKEN RICE SOUP

First, cook the wild rice according to the package direction. To make it very easy, throw the wild rice into the rice cooker. You can do this step in advance and keep the cooked rice in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to prepare the soup.

Dice carrots and onions. Then place them in a medium sauce pan with a touch of butter. Saute until soft.

Slowly sprinkle flour and stir until combined. Then add the chicken broth and whisk until everything is mixed well.

Add in cooked chicken, rice, and cream. Heat on medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the creamy rice soup is warm all the way through.

Stir or store until you are ready to eat.

FREEZING DIRECTIONS

The best wild rice soup makes a great freezer meal! Once the soup is made, put it in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months.

When you are ready to eat, let it thaw slightly or place in a sauce pan. Heat thoroughly.

FAST BREAD OPTIONS 

If you’re like me, you’ll want some warm bread to go along with this tasty wild rice and chicken soup.

I’m not always good at planning ahead, so that’s why I love this quick breadstick recipe.  You can have warm breadsticks on your plate in about 30 minutes. 

Or you could try this No-Knead French Bread or 1-Hour Soft & Fluffy Dinner Rolls. They are also staples around here! 

Maybe we’ll get lucky with another snow day so we have an excuse to make this again really soon! 🙂
