Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Great recipe - I used cheddar cheese instead of velvetta and frozen carrots - but followed the recipe otherwise. I fed 4 adults and had a little left over. It is a hearty soup and a good spin on chicken soup. Definitely will make it again. Thanks for sharing.

GREAT for a cold winter day! I've made this recipe a few times, and I always use the 1/2 broth, 1/2 water and it comes out great. I use all wild rice too, then add some garlic salt, onion powder and a bit of chicken bouillon. We eat organic here, so I found a recipe for "homemade velveeta"--I just make 1/3 recipe of that to use for this soup.

This was good, we enjoyed and will make again. Makes a lot of soup and is a good use for leftover roast chicken. I used sweet onion, left out the broccoli, used 6 cups of homemade broth & 2 of water, substituted processed cheese with 1/3 cup shredded cheddar and 4 ounces of cream cheese. Also used leftover cooked basmati rice instead of Uncle Bens. Was good but I didn't put in enough salt & pepper, also tasted like it needed a little "something else". Maybe it would have been better with the seasoning mix from Uncle Ben's rice, not sure! Thanks though, was definitely tasty and a keeper for me!

We had some leftover turkey from one we had barbecued, so I used that instead of chicken. Also, we like the texture of rice that is not instant or fast, so I had a box of Uncle Ben's original long grain and wild rice blend that I used. It had to cook twenty-five minutes instead of five, but it was delicious. I started off using less than eight cups of water and broth, but ended up putting it all in because it was quite thick. It is a full meal in itself! We added quite a bit of pepper. And we used cheddar because we don't care for Velveeta. Thank you for such a yummy soup recipe!!

We enjoyed this soup. Not too difficult to make. I thought it could use some seasoning.

This is an easy soup to pull together. I used chicken broth, instead of the water. I thought it was very good. The reason I gave it four stars, instead of more...was because you made no mention of seasonings in the recipe. I added salt, pepper and garlic. Otherwise I think it would have been a bit blah tasting. I will make this again. Thanks.

I followed the directions to a tee, but changed up the amount of the ingredients. I used 4 chicken breasts, 2 (32oz) boxes swanson chicken broth, 2 cups shredded carrots, 1 med. onion, 8 stalks celery, 2 Tbsp butter to saute, 1 lb velveeta, 2 cans cream of chicken soup and 2 boxes fast cooking long grain and wild rice. It turned out spectacular. Even my picky 7 year old cleaned her bowl. Thanks for a wonderful soup recipe!!

My husband was not a fan of this soup. We actually found it to be thin. Maybe less liquid would help.

Yum, yum, yum!! We'd definitely like to add our 5 stars to this one. Followed recipe exactly, except we used 4 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water (6 total) instead of the 8 listed. I think we would have been fine with 5 cups as well as our soup wasn't overly thick. This was a great recipe and one we can't wait to make again. Thanks luvmybug!

I help run a small coffee shop and lunch counter, we serve a soup of the day every day, this is the new Thursday soup. We had rave reviews and everyone loved it. I used all chicken broth and a little extra cheese. We are from the south and velveeta is a food group here. Great Recipe.

I made this for my boyfriend, who was down with a cold, and we both loved it. I followed the recipe to the word and wouldn't change a thing next time (I'd even use Velveeta again, which I've never bought in my life!) Thanks for this yummy, easy soup!

DUH! I expected this soup to be thicker...and it says it was adapted by luvmybge because her family didn't care for thicker soup. I thought this soup was a great as is (it is more "brothy") I used all broth when I made it.I think this is a soup that you can choose a stage for..meaning you could eat it without the cr of chicken and velveeta and it would be a true chick and rice broth soup, then add the other for something alittle more creamy (but still liquidy) by adding the soup and the velveeta, or if you want a thicker soup, you'd have to either thicken it or cut back on the liquid to the original recipe...whcn you need that comfort food soup. I also thought next time I will add more rice. It seemed a little sparse to me on the rice. But that's just my tweaking. Thanks for posting! A definite keeper!

Excellent and tasty soup. Pretty easy to make and good when you need a fast meal. I did not put in as much cheese as it called for. I think it would also be good without the cream of chicken soup and cheese, if you use chicken broth and water for the liquid. Really enjoyed it!

A bowl of this soup and some homemade french bread is as close to a perfect meal on a winter night as you can get. I used cheddar cheese instead of velveeta and I added extra water. Next time I think I'll just leave the cheese out altogether, because it was just fine without it. I'll also double the recipe next time to make sure I have yummy leftovers for lunch!

This soup was awesome! My kids even ate it, and they are picky eaters--especially with anything green floating around in it! I accidentally bought another can of broth instead of the cream of chicken soup, so I added that and some milk to it. I also added a little extra cheese. It was quick and easy to prepare. Thanks, luvmybge!
