In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed wild rice with 4 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft.
Stir in sliced cremini mushrooms and cook for another 5-7 minutes until tender.
Add minced garlic, dried thyme, sage, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly for 1 minute.
Pour in remaining 4 cups of chicken broth along with cooked wild rice and shredded chicken. Bring to a simmer.
Lower heat to low; cover pot and simmer for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in heavy cream or coconut milk, and optional dry sherry. Add parsley, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Gently heat through, avoiding boiling once cream is added.
Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toasted nuts and optional Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
