Place the beef stew meat, wild rice, onion, carrots, celery, beef broth, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker.
Stir the ingredients to combine them evenly.
Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or until the beef is tender and the rice has softened.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 20 minutes on low.
Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed before serving.
Notes
For a thicker texture, mash a small portion of the rice against the side of the pot before adding the cream. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for three days and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth to loosen the consistency.Course: Soup
