Method
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Base
- Add butter to the pot, melt, then stir in flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 3: Add Broth and Seasonings
- Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring. Add thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4: Add Chicken and Rice
- Stir in shredded chicken and cooked wild rice. Continue cooking until everything is heated through.

Step 5: Pour in Cream
- Add heavy cream and stir until the soup becomes creamy and well combined. Cook for another 5 minutes and serve warm.

Notes
Serve this cozy Publix Chicken and Wild Rice Soup with warm, crusty bread, buttery garlic toast, or oyster crackers for extra crunch.
