Jan's Comforting, YUMMY but Naughty Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Very good soup. I used chicken but I think ground beef would be just as good!

Oh yeah! This was super yummy. I'm putting it into my regular fall/winter-time rotation. I made as directed. I used Uncle Ben's Original Wild Rice. I think it's closer to a chowder than soup, but could be thinned out if you wish...it doesn't need it. Seriously good soup! Try it. Update: It was even better the next day. What's with the title chicken and wild rice soup? Other than the broth, there's no chicken. :-)

I made a double batch of this soup for a progressive dinner. I followed the recipe exactly... except that I doubled the amount of rice since I used a blend of wild and brown. I used 2% milk and it was still very creamy. I asked the people who came to help me come up with a rating and they gave it 10 stars until I told them 5 was as high as you could go. 4 people have already asked for the recipe and I directed them to this site.

With a few changes: Chicken, milk, double the rice and omit the onions and carrot. I enjoy carrots and onion but feel the soup is better without.

Delicious! I made a few changes for convenience: I used 2 cups leftover chicken instead of ground beef, used 2 cups cream instead of half-and-half, and used a box of Uncle Ben's brown and wild rice (but didn't use the Uncle Ben's seasoning). Everything else stayed the same. It was amazing, thanks Jan!

Great recipe. My whole family loved it. I just made it on the stove top instead of the crockpot and it still turned out great.

This was super delicious. I will make it again often. I did not make it in a crockpot though. I sauteed the onion and carrot in some olive oil and then added in the other ingredients. I also made it more naughty and used heavy cream instead of the milk so it was super creamy and yummy and I did not add the cheese because my son wouldnt eat it. Excellent!

Very Good! I did substitute 1/2 pound hamburger for ground sausage (mild). I will definitely it make again!

Like others I can't figure out why this is called Chicken Wild Rice Soup, but I followed the recipe pretty closely using ground beef and milk and the onion. However I did use a wild rice blend because I was too lazy to cook the wild rice I had on hand. The cheese didn't seem to add much in my opinion, but overall a good soup for a snow day! (reposting because for some reason my stars didn't *stick*)

This recipe was NOT good.

It was too salty and it wasn't even a soup (and I only used 1 pound of hamburger instead of 1-1/2 pounds.) It was a rice/hamburger mush that neither I nor my hubby liked. We ate what we could tolerate and threw the rest of it in the garbage.

This is a very good recipe! I use ground turkey and put the rice in uncooked with 1 cup of extra water. All of my family loves this recipe and I have two toddlers. Thanks for an easy family pleaser!

This was delicious even in the summer in CA! Tweaked it a bit: used Costco's roasted chicken, 1 c. fat free 1/2 & 1/2 & 1 c. 1% milk instead of the 2 c. 1/2 & 1/2; added sauteed onions/celery & mushrooms; addedcapers which added a special touch; and the seasoning packet from the wild rice box rather than the ranch dressing packet. Marvelous...thanks for sharing!

I made this tonight. Easy! I also did NOT use ground beef. I used a rotisserie chicken that I pulled apart, seemed more appropriate.

REALLY yummy... Now I just have to figure out a way to make it a little healthier :) We didn't find any unbalance of flavors, like some others had mentioned; I thought that the ground beef worked well. We did use skim milk (instead of 1/2 and 1/2, and the soup still came out perfectly creamy) and Big Batch Ranch Dressing Mix (Big Batch Ranch Dressing Mix). Thanks Kimke!

The first time I made this was for a potluck for the teachers at my daughter's school so I didn't really get any, but I did get requests for the recipe. Last night I made a double batch for a 5 family potluck and most of it was gone at the end of the night. I used skim milk which may have affected the thickness. It was pretty ugly until you stirred it. I also would probably cut the ranch dressing some next time but over all it's a yummy and, yes, comforting soup. Next time I might try swiss cheese as that sounds like a good combination with the wild rice.
