Italian Sausage and Wild Rice Soup

This Italian Sausage and Wild Rice Soup is so hearty and delicious. This will definitely be your new favorite soup!

Normally when I think of Wild Rice Soup, I think of the creamy rich version with chicken.

I was going to originally make this soup creamy, but I did a quick taste test and was so happy with all of the delicious flavors that I decided to leave it without the cream.

I used Hot Italian Chicken Sausage which I think really amped up the flavor! It’s not super spicy, but has just the right kick. 

To make this soup, start by adding Olive Oil to a 6 quart Dutch Oven and heat over med/high heat on the stovetop.

When oil starts to shimmer, add Carrots, Celery, Onion, and Garlic. Sauté 3-4 minutes.

Add Sausage, Wild Rice, Chicken Broth, and seasonings. Simmer on med/low heat for 45 minutes or until rice is fully cooked, stirring often.

Just a quick note:

Start with 6 cups of Chicken Broth and add more as needed. I prefer a thicker soup and found that 8 cups was perfect for me. If you like it thinner just add more broth or water.

If you are making this to have leftovers you may need to add more broth or water before reheating. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more liquid the rice will absorb.
