Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

This Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is a broth-based comfort food that warms up your body and soul when you’re chilled to the bone. It’s a new fall favorite.

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Disclosure: I am participating in the Chicken Farmers of Canada campaign managed by SJ Consulting. I received compensation in exchange for my participation in this campaign. The opinions on this blog are my own.

I’m not huge on creamy soups, so I wanted to share a Chicken and Wild Recipe soup recipe without:

1. Cream
2. Flour
3. Mushrooms

Between preferences and intolerances, we can be a little boring here in the Derkson house but it’s the way it is.

Bring on the comfort food!

For me, soup hits me right in the heart. There is something about watching the leaves fall outside my kitchen window while simmering a pot of soup.

It’s oh so cozy.

So bring on the Hunter boots, fuzzy socks, and blanket scarves. We’re cooking up some chicken and wild rice soup today with my friends at Chicken Farmers of Canada.

Look for the Raised By a Farmer Logo!

So why should you support local Canadian Farmers? Let me share a few reasons:

• Canadian chicken is grain-fed, free of hormones and steroids.
• Canadian chicken is raised here in Canada according to nationally-set, mandatory food safety, and animal care standards.
• You’re supporting family farms that (in turn) give back to your community.

Dairy Free Chicken Wild Rice Soup

This chicken and wild rice soup recipe isn’t Whole30 compliant (because of the wild rice) but it is a clean eating recipe that will make you feel good both inside and out. The aroma that wafts throughout the house as the soup simmers is heaven, oh how I love sage.

To mince the sage, roll the herbs together and slice through with your knife. Do this a few times.

What’s your favorite herb/spice? Tell me in the comments.

TBK’s Pro Tip: Can’t find fresh sage? Use poultry spice instead. It’s not the same, but it will be similar as it contains ground sage.

This soup is perfect for picky eaters, I don’t want to say it’s bland (total wrong choice of words) but it’s great for young kids who don’t like “too much” going on. You know? My sick husband said it hit the spot and me? I added a little extra S&P to mine and a dash of hot sauce because I love hot sauce in soup.
