Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

(Gluten-free, dairy-free)

Serves 5-6

Ingredients:  

• Mirepoix (celery, carrots, onion)

• 2 quarts low sodium broth (chicken/veggie)

• 1 cup wild rice, uncooked

• 2 cans chicken

• Garlic

• Parsley

• Thyme

• Pepper

Instructions:

• In a large pot, cook Mirepoix (celery, carrots, onion) in oil, ~10 minutes. Time will depend on fresh vs frozen veggies.

• Add 1 cup of uncooked wild rice and 2 quarts of broth. Simmer for 25 minutes.

• Add 2 cans of chicken + garlic, parsley, thyme and pepper to taste. Cook an additional 10 minutes.

Serve with hot sauce or sliced avocado and a glass of wine!

Notes:

For the Mirepoix, I precut and froze a bag of carrots, a bag of celery and about half an onion a few weeks ago before I went out of town so they wouldn't go bad (see image below). My cans of chicken were 12.5 oz each, set in water.

Substitutions:

Feel feel to use brown rice, beans or whole wheat pasta instead of wild rice

Vegetarian option - swap chicken and rice for lentils or chickpea pasta to keep the protein, fiber and carbs

Enjoy!
