There’s something so comforting about a warm bowl of chicken and wild rice soup, isn’t there? I remember many chilly days when I’d treat myself to a comforting cup at my local Panera. The combination of tender chicken, hearty wild rice, and a creamy broth always felt like a big hug in a bowl. That’s why I decided to bring that same warmth into my kitchen and create a copycat version that’s just as delicious. Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Copycat Panera Chicken & Wild Rice Soup that will have you feeling cozy in no time.
