Print Recipe

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2-3/4 Cup Della Basmati & Wild Rice
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp drItalian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2-3 stalks of celery – chopped
  • 1-2 carrots
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 can red kidney beans – drained
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
  • 2-3 cups water – as needed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Parsley as garnish

Step 1

  • Prep the parsley & vegetables.

Step 2

  • In a large stockpot, combine chicken broth, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, celery, carrot, onion, kidney beans, and Della Basmati & Wild Rice. Add salt & pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the wild rice to become tender and fully cooked.

Step 3

  • Now, stir in the shredded chicken, season with salt and pepper to your taste, and adjust the soup’s consistency with water as necessary. This step is important because the rice absorbs a significant amount of the chicken broth, so adding extra liquid will maintain the desired soup-like consistency.
  • Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is heated throughout.

Step 4

  • Taste the soup and, if needed, add more salt and pepper to suit your preferences. Sprinkle parsley on top. Enjoy!
