Dairy Free Gluten Free Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

This hearty, cozy soup is loaded with tender shredded chicken, nutty wild rice, and a colorful mix of carrots, celery, and onion, all simmered together until every bite is warm and satisfying. Garlic, thyme, and rosemary bring an earthy, aromatic backbone, while a light cornstarch slurry gives the broth that classic, spoon-coating thickness you want from a good chicken soup. It's the kind of one-pot meal that comes together easily on a weeknight but still feels like something worth serving to guests. A sprinkle of fresh parsley right before serving adds a bright, herby finish that ties the whole bowl together. This one is a great fit for a dairy free kitchen, letting you enjoy all that creamy, comforting texture without missing a beat.

1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried rosemary

Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
2
Add the garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
