Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp olive oil (more or less to taste)
1 onion, diced
3 stalks celery, each 6-inches long, sliced very thinly
6 medium carrots, diced
2 garlic cloves, roughly diced
1/2 tsp powdered dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried tarragon
4 cups chicken broth
2 -3 cups water ( start with 2, add more if needed)
1 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed
2 chicken breast halves, trimmed of fat, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/2-1 cup cream
fresh basil leaf , chiffonaded
salt and pepper

Directions:

Heat olive oil in a mid-size heavy soup pot over a medium flame till hot. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, till soft and golden (lower flame if necessary to keep garlic from burning).
When veggies are soft, add dried spices and cook, stirring, till fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add chicken broth, water, and wild rice. Bring to a boil, lower flame, cover tightly and simmer 40 minutes, till wild rice is almost done.
Add cubed chicken and cook 7-8 minutes more, till chicken and wild rice are both done. (Don't overcook, or you'll have mushy wild rice and dry chicken!).
Remove soup from heat and ladle about 1 cup broth into a small bowl. Let cool a bit, then whisk in cream, being careful to stir quickly so the cream doesn't curdle.
Slowly whisk cream and broth mixture back into the soup, stirring till well mixed. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
