A while back, I spent two days at the Salt Lake City courthouse for jury duty. Lucky for me, the courthouse cafeteria offered a pretty tasty chicken and wild rice soup. It hit the spot, and I decided to make my own Instant Pot version for my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Kind of Rice to Look For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to this easy family dinner starts with choosing the right rice. I use Ben\u2019s Long Grain and Wild Rice Original Recipe<\/a>, (originally called Uncle Ben’s) which calls for a 25-minute stovetop cook time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Don\u2019t get it confused with the Fast Cook wild rice<\/a>, which has a 5-minute stovetop time and cooks up mushy in the finished soup.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose the original, longer-cooking rice so that the chicken and rice will cook at the same time in the same pot. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

One thing to note: There is a flavoring packet inside Ben\u2019s Wild Rice mix. Our recipe does not call for you to use the packet, as there are so many other tasty flavors from the fresh vegetables and chicken stock. (If you want to use the wild rice seasoning, however, taste the soup before adding salt. The seasoning packet also contains salt, and you don\u2019t want to overdo it!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: <\/strong>If you can\u2019t find parboiled wild rice, regular raw white rice will also work, with no change to the cooking time. <\/p>\n\n\n

Serving Chicken Wild Rice Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While picking up the chicken and vegetables for this recipe, I saw bread bowls at the grocery store. This pressure cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup<\/strong> is so thick and creamy, I thought it would go perfectly in a fluffy bread bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re feeling adventurous, bake your own homemade bread bowls<\/a>! Or make these Favorite Dinner Rolls<\/a> from Barbara Bakes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Can I Make This Chicken Wild Rice Soup on the Stovetop?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Certainly! Simply follow the instructions as written for a pressure cooker. After adding the broth, chicken, and rice, cover and simmer your creamy chicken soup for 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the cornstarch slurry, cream cheese, milk, and half and half after simmering. Finally, warm the soup through without boiling. <\/p>\n\n\n

How Many Servings Does This Chicken Wild Rice Soup Recipe Make?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the recipe is written, you can feed 8 people a hot bowl of homemade wild rice soup. Each serving is about a 1\u00bd cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: <\/strong>If your Instant Pot or pressure cooker is 6-quarts or larger, you can double the recipe with no change to the cook time. If doubling, add 3 cans of chicken broth before you pressurize the pot. Add the remaining broth after you release the pressure. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
