This delicious and hearty soup reminds me of the creamy wild rice chicken soup I had before I went paleo, but it’s light enough to enjoy year round, not just during the cold winter months. If you don’t have shredded chicken leftovers, consider using (clean) canned chicken to make this recipe a breeze!

When do you add the shredded chicken?
Katiesays
Keith,
Good Q! I see I accidentally overlooked that step. You’ll want to add the chicken in step 9 the same time you add the mushrooms and heat through.
Enjoy!
