This creamy chicken and wild rice soup is a true lifesaver when you need a warm meal without spending hours in the kitchen. It is incredibly hearty and hits the spot on a chilly evening. Most people love how the creamy base pairs perfectly with the earthy texture of the wild rice.

My favorite shortcut for this recipe is using a store bought rotisserie chicken. It saves so much time and adds a lovely flavor to the broth. If you have extra veggies in the fridge, feel free to toss them in, but it is delicious just as it is.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 box wild rice mix, including seasoning packet
  • 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup half and half

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour the chicken broth into a large pot and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the wild rice and the seasoning packet from the box to the pot.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the rice simmer according to the instructions on the package until it is tender.

  4. 4

    Stir in the shredded chicken and the condensed cream of chicken soup until well combined.

  5. 5

    Pour in the half and half and stir gently. Heat the soup for another five minutes until it is warmed through, but do not let it come to a hard boil.

  6. 6

    Ladle into bowls and serve while it is nice and hot.

💡 Tips

This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld in the fridge. If the soup thickens too much while stored, just add a splash of milk or broth when reheating. You can serve this with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
