Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by chopping your chicken breast, carrots, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Gather them along with the wild rice and seasonings.
  2. In your slow cooker, combine the chopped chicken, wild rice, carrots, celery, and onion. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle the poultry seasoning over the top.
  3. Set your crockpot on low and let it cook for 6 hours.
  4. While the soup cooks, prepare a creamy roux in a separate saucepan. Melt butter over medium heat, then whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually pour in the heavy cream.
  5. Once your soup has finished cooking, stir the creamy roux into the crockpot until fully combined. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. If you have any soup left, let it cool before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
