Ingredients

Scale

Mushroom Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup wild rice (or a blend including wild rice)
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Mushrooms: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 10-15 minutes until they release their liquid and it evaporates. Set mushrooms aside.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 8-10 minutes until tender.
  3. Add Aromatics: Stir in chopped garlic and thyme, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Simmer Soup: Add chicken broth, wild rice, cooked chicken, and cooked mushrooms to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the rice is tender.
  5. Finish with Cream and Cheese: Stir in milk or cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook until the cheese melts, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute mushrooms with a mix of your favorite varieties for extra flavor.
  • Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • For a richer soup, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Wild rice blend can include brown rice or white rice if desired.
  • Adjust seasoning at the end according to your preference.
