  • 5 large carrots, sliced
  • 4 large celery ribs, sliced
  • 1 medium-large zucchini, sliced

Method

  • In a large, deep pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the fennel, carrots, celery, zucchini and mushrooms and cook until the vegetables have begun to soften and the mushrooms have begun to brown.
  • Raise the heat to high and pour in the wine, stirring vigorously, then pour in the stock.
  • Add onion flakes, rosemary, pepper, salt and wild rice.
  • Return to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook (uncovered) 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the cooked chicken, beans and green onion and cook a further 35 minutes.
