Soup Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked wild rice
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 2 large carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the wild rice, chicken, carrots, celery, and chicken broth into your slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Add Cream: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream thoroughly to incorporate into the soup and allow it to heat through without boiling, to prevent curdling.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm for a hearty and creamy soup experience.
Notes
- Using pre-cooked chicken will save time; rotisserie chicken works well.
- Wild rice can be cooked ahead of time or use instant wild rice for quicker prep.
- Do not boil the soup after adding cream to avoid curdling.
- For a thicker soup, mix 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
