Cooking Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the mushrooms, onions, and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the onions are translucent, about five to seven minutes.
- Whisk in the flour. Then slowly whisk in the chicken stock. Add in the chicken, oregano, rosemary, and thyme and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the soup and shred it. Return it to the pot with the heavy cream and the cooked wild rice. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
A note about the rice: I cooked mine a day ahead of time (3 cups of water to 1 cup of uncooked rice, brought to a boil, and reduced to a simmer for about 45 minutes). But certainly, you can buy precooked rice and just add that.
