"I usually double this recipe or triple it - we LOVE this soup (stew? it's on the thicker side)! You can easily freeze this to reheat later - I like to do it in my food-saver bags, then all I have to do is boil the bag. I tend to "eye-ball" my measurements on the onion, carrots, celery because they just add more wonderful flavor anyways. With the wild rice - you can either use the directions listed below or cook according to the package directions with as much rice as you want! :) Serve with a nice crusty bread - I really like french or ciabatta because they're both good at soaking up the last wonderful drops in the bowl!"

Yum. A great recipe. Instead of cream I used cream of chicken soup. I didn't have any wild rice, so I used brown (still great). The poultry seasoning adds a really nice flavor. I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store - the mix of white and dark meat was great.

I make this every year with my leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. It is very good and is wonderful on a cold day. I also add more veggies than recipe calls for.
