Soup Instructions
- Start by rinsing wild rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain thoroughly.
- In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed wild rice with chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 45-50 minutes until tender. Drain excess liquid.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened and onions are translucent.
- Stir in sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until soft.
- Add minced garlic along with dried thyme, sage, and rosemary. Sauté for an additional minute until garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in dry white wine, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Add the remaining chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in cooked wild rice and shredded cooked chicken. Simmer together for 5 minutes.
- Lower heat, add heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat through gently, avoiding a boil, then ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and toasted nuts.

Notes
For a vegetarian version, omit chicken and use vegetable broth. Adjust seasoning before serving for optimal flavor.
