For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth or adding a splash of heavy cream at the end of cooking. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cornstarch slurry. Feel free to add other vegetables such as diced carrots, celery, or mushrooms to customize the soup to your liking. Wild rice can vary in cooking time, so check for tenderness after 45 minutes and adjust accordingly. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, but fresh is recommended for the best flavor.
