This was a lovely dish. I used turkey bacon, and Minnesota wild rice. I was skeptical for lack of more seasonings, but the dish was flavorful and delicious. I used Healthy Substitute for Cream of Chicken Soup for the cream of chicken soup. I found that I had to add more broth during cooking because it was getting to dry. We had this with grilled cheese sandwiches and green vegetables on the side.

This was very good and easy to put together, although more salty than I would have liked. I used low sodium chicken broth and low fat cream of chicken soup and followed the recipe exactly. The rice was nice and fluffy---beautiful hand harvested Minnesota wild rice. Next time I will not cut the veggies so small and add larger quantities. My DH really enjoyed this and is looking forward to "planned overs" later this week. Thank Audrey! MMO
