Cook the wild rice mix in a small pot first. Follow the box instructions carefully. Set the cooked rice aside for later use.
Place your large Dutch oven on the stove now. Turn the heat to medium. Melt the fresh butter completely.
Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook them for five minutes. Stir until the vegetables become soft.
Add the minced garlic to the tender vegetables now. Stir the mixture constantly. Cook for just one minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables next. Stir well to coat them. Cook for one minute to remove raw taste.
Pour the savory chicken broth into the pot slowly. Whisk constantly to prevent any flour lumps from forming.
Bring the soup liquid to a boil now. Then lower the heat to low. Simmer gently for about ten minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken and cooked rice next. Let the ingredients heat through for five minutes.
Pour the heavy cream into the soup pot slowly. Stir gently to combine the cream with the broth.
Season with salt and black pepper to your taste. Remove the pot from the hot stove. Serve the warm soup immediately.
