Chicken Wild Rice Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 tbsp butter, unsalted.
02 - 1 pound chicken breasts, no skin or bones.
03 - 3 cups ready-to-eat wild rice.
04 - 16 oz of sliced baby portabella and shiitake mushrooms.
05 - 1 medium-sized onion, chopped.
06 - 2 minced garlic cloves.
07 - 1 cup of creamy heavy cream.
08 - 3 cups chicken broth.
09 - 2 tsp oregano leaves.
10 - 1 tsp rosemary.
11 - 1 tsp dried thyme.
12 - 2 tbsp plain wheat flour.
13 - 1 tsp kosher salt.
14 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.

# Instructions:

01 - Pop butter in your Dutch oven. Toss in garlic, onion, and mushrooms along with the salt and pepper. Stir them until the onions turn translucent—about 5 to 7 minutes.
02 - Add flour and stir it around. Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking. Drop in the chicken and sprinkle with herbs. Let it heat up to a simmer.
03 - Simmer everything for 20 minutes, or until the chicken hits 165°F.
04 - Take chicken out and shred it into pieces, then add it back into the pot. Stir in the wild rice and cream to finish.

# Notes:

01 - Make rice beforehand if you want.
02 - Packaged pre-cooked rice works fine too.
03 - 1 cup of raw wild rice needs 3 cups of water.
