Directions
Roast the chicken at 350-375 with whatever seasonings you'd like.
Cook the wild rice according to package instructions.
While that is cooking saute the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery in the butter until the veggies are really fragrant and have some color to them.
Keeping the burner around medium, begin adding the liquids, scraping up the bottom of the pan while stirring them in.
Add the seasonings to your taste, you can use fresh or dried, then add in the yogurt and cream cheese, stirring until melted.
Add in the fresh and/or frozen spinach at this point also (I used a couple handfuls of fresh, ripped into smaller pieces and a cube of blended greens I keep for smoothies).
Once the chicken and rice are done cooking, add them.
At this point, I'd recommend letting the soup simmer for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before eating or refrigerating overnight to eat the next day.
