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.
