Chicken and Herb Wild Rice Soup

This is my moms recipe. It is so good and SO healthy. Everything in this soup is good for you, so if you're trying to eat better this year....this is the soup to make! To make things easier, I would chop everything up beforehand. Thanks mom! :)

Ingredients: 1 t. olive oil
                   1/2 c. chopped onion
                   1/2 c. chopped celery
                  1/2 c. chopped red pepper
                   1 cup sliced mushrooms
                  2 1/2 c. chicken broth
                 2 c. water
                   1/2 c. uncooked wild rice
                  1 c. diced potatoes
                  1 c. diced carrots
                 15 oz. can garbanzo beans, drained
                1/2 t. thyme
                 1/2 t. mustard powder
                 1 t. basil
                 2 c. cooked, diced chicken (about 2 pieces of boneless skinless breasts)
                1/2 c. frozen peas

Directions:
     First make sure you cook your chicken and cut it into pieces. Set it aside. Also, make sure to chop up all the ingredients first and set them all aside. It makes it easier.
    Then, in a big pot over medium high heat add the olive oil. When it's hot add the onion, celery, red pepper and mushrooms. Saute 2 minutes.
   Add the broth, water, wild rice, potatoes, carrots, garbanzo beans, thyme, mustard powder, basil and cooked chicken.
   Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer about 45 minutes. Then, add the peas and cook 5 more minutes.
