Chicken Broth: The Soul of the Soup
The soup’s base is enriched with 6 cups of chicken broth, which infuses the dish with a deep, savory taste. Opt for a high-quality low-sodium chicken broth to keep the flavors balanced and avoid overpowering saltiness.
Wild Rice: Hearty and Nutritious
Wild rice gives the soup a nutty flavor and chewy texture, making it more filling and hearty. A 1-cup serving of wild rice (or a blend of rice that includes wild rice) provides the perfect foundation to absorb the creamy broth.
Chicken: Tender, Shredded or Diced
For protein, you’ll need 1 ½ cups of cooked chicken, diced or shredded. Leftover roast chicken works well here, or you can easily cook chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe.
Cream or Milk: For the Ultimate Creaminess
To create the signature creamy texture of this soup, we use milk or cream. Heavy cream will provide the richest, thickest consistency, while milk creates a lighter version. Choose according to your preference!
Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan): The Finishing Touch
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano adds a salty, nutty flavor that complements the richness of the soup. About 1 cup of parmesan cheese will make the soup irresistibly delicious and elevate its flavor profile.
Salt and Pepper: To Taste
The last step in seasoning your soup is adjusting the salt and pepper. Be sure to taste as you go and adjust the seasoning to ensure the soup is perfectly balanced.
