Notes

This recipe makes a large batch of soup, so it is perfect for freezing or feeding a crowd. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add more flour to the vegetables when making the roux. If you want to make this soup vegetarian, you can substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and omit the chicken.

Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked wild rice from a package or can. You can also use leftover chicken or a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own chicken breasts. If you want a creamier soup, you can add more half-and-half or heavy cream. You can also add additional vegetables, such as mushrooms or peas, to the soup for more flavor and nutrition.
