Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp Borsari Olive Oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 3 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed
• 8 cups chicken broth

• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

2. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5 - 7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Add wild rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until rice is tender.

5. Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Pro Tips

• For a dairy-free version, swap the cream with coconut milk.
• Save time by using a rotisserie chicken for the shredded meat.
• Wild rice can take longer to cook; taste test for doneness before adding cream and chicken.
