I wanted a warm, silky soup that contained leeks but different than the standard leek soup recipes I kept seeing. So with the help of wild rice and rotisserie chicken, I came up with a delicious soup that can be changed up to a cook’s preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 leeks – white parts only, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon base (such as Better Than Bouillon®)
- 8 cups hot water
- 1 cup wild rice (such as Lundberg Wild Blend®)
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- ¾ pound cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 3 large multi-colored carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add leeks, onion, and garlic. Saute until fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add chicken bouillon to hot water to dissolve. Add to the onion-leek mixture. Add rice and poultry seasoning. Stir well, cover, and reduce heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes.
Step 3
Add chicken, carrots, and bell pepper to the soup. Cover and continue simmering until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and add heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with thyme.
