My Husband Calls This “Cozy Couch Soup”
There are days when all you want is a bowl of something warm, creamy, and filling while curling up on the couch under a blanket. My husband nicknamed this recipe “Cozy Couch Soup” because it has exactly that vibe—it’s hearty enough to feel like a meal, but smooth and soothing enough to be eaten with one hand while the other holds the remote.
This version is a creamy chicken, mushroom, and wild rice soup—the perfect mix of comfort and substance.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 pound boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup wild rice (uncooked)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
