Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil. Cook diced chicken for about 6–8 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pot and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender and aromatic.
  3. Pour in 6–8 cups of broth, increase heat to medium-high, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in pre-cooked wild rice and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until heated through.
  5. Sprinkle in flour while stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in cream, reduce heat to low, and allow soup to thicken for 3–5 minutes.
  6. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and miso paste. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return cooked chicken to soup and heat through for another 2 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
