Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup uncooked wild rice
• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (or rotisserie chicken)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
