  1. Prepare the Soup Base: Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Sauté onions, carrots, and celery until slightly softened. Add garlic and mushrooms, cook until tender.
  2. Add Seasonings and Broth: Season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and stir in wild rice. Simmer until rice is tender.
