**Ingredients:**

– 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil
– 1 large onion, diced
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
– 4 cups of chicken broth
– 1 cup of water
– 1 cup of uncooked wild rice blend
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

**Instructions:**

1. Start by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear them until they are golden brown on both sides. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side. Once done, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.

2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté them until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent, which usually takes around 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the sliced carrots and chopped celery to the pot, stirring them until they start to soften, usually about 5-7 minutes.

4. Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot. Sprinkle in the dried thyme and rosemary, then pour in the chicken broth and water. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Once the soup is boiling, stir in the uncooked wild rice blend. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the flavors have melded together beautifully.

6. Check and adjust the seasoning of the soup with salt and pepper as needed. Remember, the flavors will continue to deepen as the soup simmers, so don’t be shy with the seasoning.

7. Ladle the steaming hot soup into bowls, making sure each serving gets a generous amount of chicken, vegetables, and rice. Garnish your bowl with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

8. Serve the soup hot, alongside some crusty bread or a simple side salad for a complete and satisfying meal. This recipe is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a warm lunch on a chilly day.
