Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season Chicken thighs with Salt and Pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until cooked through. Let cool slightly, then shred the Chicken.
Heat Olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Diced onion, Diced carrots, and Diced celery stalks (mirepoix) and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Add Garlic-minced and cook for 1 minute more.
Pour in Chicken broth and add Wild rice-rinsed, Dried thyme, Dried rosemary, and Bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until Wild rice is tender.
Deglaze the pot with Dry sherry, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
While the soup simmers, make a roux. In a small saucepan, melt Butter over medium heat. Whisk in All-purpose flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk the roux into the simmering soup. Stir until the soup thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the shredded roasted Chicken to the soup.
Stir in Heavy cream and heat through. Remove Bay leaf before serving.
