With the colder temperatures and snow storms it appears it is officially sweater, ski, and (most importantly) soup season! There is nothing better than warming up with a hot bowl of soup on a cold, snowy (or if you’re in Seattle, rainy) day. I love all soups: vegetable, chili, pureed, bean soups, you name it, but my absolutely favorite soups are creamy soups. This chicken and wild rice soup is thick and creamy, chewy from the wild rice, and a little crunchy from the almonds. It will warm you up even on the chilliest of winter days!
I made this soup in the crock pot and it turned out pretty thick, so be prepared to have a little extra broth/milk on hand if you like your soup on the thin side.
Ingredients
- Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
- adapted from All Recipes
- 1 medium onion
- 2 carrots diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 4-5 cups chicken broth
- 3/4 cup wild rice

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- Add cooked vegetables, chicken broth, wild rice, chicken, and spices to crock pot.
- Cook on low for 6 hours.
- When soup is done cooking, add butter to small saucepan and melt over medium heat.
- Whisk in flour, then slowly add milk.

- Enjoy!

Yum! I love creamy, hearty soups during the winter. I don’t have a crackpot so I’m glad you included the stovetop directions too!
is this the first installment of another crock pot week!?
I’m not much of a soup fan, but this one has all the “things” that I like about soup! Excellent recipe!!
This looks amazing! I love that you have crockpot option and stovetop option.
It is SO soup weather…. snowing in Omaha as we speak… or I guess… as I type this!

I can imagine how comforting this would be during winter/Christmas time! I must save this away when winter rolls around again in Australia. Delicious looking!
