HOUSE SOUP* Recipe

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Add Remaining Vegetables

Add the diced carrots, celery, and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Add Chicken and Rice

Stir in the shredded chicken, uncooked wild rice, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Simmer the Soup

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the wild rice is cooked and tender.

Finish and Serve

Remove the bay leaves and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste, and serve hot.
