Ingredients :
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
- 1 medium onion peeled and finely diced
- 1 carrot peeled and finely diced
- 1 celery rib finely diced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Morton Nature’s Season seasoning blend
- 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chicken base
- 1/4 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet seasoning
- 2 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded
- 2 cups cooked wild rice
- 2 cups half and half or heavy cream
- minced fresh parsley for garnish, optional
Directions :
- In a Dutch oven or large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat until foaming. Add mushrooms, onion, carrots, celery, Morton's Nature Seasoning, and poultry seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and released most of their liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in flour and cook until heated through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in one cup of broth until no lumps of flour remain.
- Stir in remaining broth, chicken base, Kitchen Bouquet seasoning, chicken, and cooked wild rice. Heat until barely simmering, about 180 degrees.
- Stir in half and half and return to 180 degrees (do not boil). Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper) and garnish with fresh parsley. Or, transfer to a slow cooker and keep warm.
