Directions
Copy-Cat Panera Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup, I literally CRAVE this amazing, hearty soup from Panera when the weather begins to chill this is the closest recipe I have found to theirs The best part is, it’s ready in less than an hour!! I’ve found that the reviews are right and have lessened the amount of flour; originally 1 cup; just use 1/2 or a bit more depending on how thick you like your soup (Panera’s is VERY thick) , LOVE this recipe! Panera Chicken & Wild Rice soup is my all time fav so I thought I’d give this recipe a try It is SPOT on I have made it many times now and everyone has gone crazy for it! It’s super simple to make, VERY easy clean up (just two pots <3), and just sooo unbelievably tasty use a rotisserie chicken, only 1 stick of butter, and 1 5 c whipping cream/1 5 c 2% milk and haven't noticed any difference than when I made the exact recipe I'll also add some garlic because why not 🙂 Thank you for this amazing recipe Raquel!

Alternatively, For Those Who Cannot Get the Quick-Cooking Version of the Rice, I Have Put the Broth on to Boil and Cooked the 25-Minute Version of Long Grain and Wild Rice Blend According to the Directions, While Sauteeing the Veggies in the Butter. I Tend to Cook the Veggies Longer This Way, and I Like Them Quite Soft. I Then Follow the Rest of the Directions Above, Adding the Rice/Broth to the Cream Mixture. I've Also Used Fat-Free Half and Half With No Appreciable Difference in Flavor. Enjoy! |
