Minnesota Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

DELICIOUS! I added a dash of cayenne for some heat, but otherwise followed the recipe. I used homemade stock, and this soup was really wonderful. Thank you so much! I'll make it often.

I made this for my boyfriend who was expecting the soup his mother always made. I think he liked this one better! I thoroughly enjoyed it and always wanted seconds. I will make this recipe every fall/winter.

Looking for recipes to use up the mondo package of wild rice I bought on impulse at Costco. This was delicious, and I'm glad I made it. I followed the recipe for the most part, except for adding about a half a cup more broth, and I didn't measure the veggies... Just chopped until I was worried it might be healthy. I diced up two chicken breasts and just threw them in the pot when I started the rice so it was nice and tender when done. My husband isn't a big fan of soups, but he ate this with some cayenne sauce. I think the only change I'd make is to add some garlic, and maybe garnish with some bacon crumbles, to get rid of that pesky healthy veg feeling.

This soup really hit the spot! Best soup I've ever made. I tweaked the recipe just a tad to suit our tastes. I added two cloves of garlic, minced, doubled the thyme, used a full four cups of homemade stock, and added 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan salt (my stock didn't have any salt) after the wild rice had thoroughly cooked. I took another reviewer's advice and used broth from the soup, instead of half and half, to thicken the butter/flour mixture, and then added the half and half after reducing the heat. In my experience, getting a soup to thicken requires bringing it to a boil, and I didn't want to do that with dairy. Next time, I'll do one better, and reserve that extra 1/2 cup of broth I added initially for this purpose. Anyway, I LOVED this absolutely DELICIOUS soup! It reheated wonderfully, and as I said before, really hit the spot. Served with homemade biscuits... YUMMY! Thank you so much for sharing! I will be making this often!

This was good. Mixed reviews from the family ranging from ok to very good, but no one ate the leftovers which is unusual for us. Wont be making again, but thanks for giving us something new to try.

This was really good. I used fat free half and half, and added some parsley and some mushrooms. Other than that, made it exactly as written.

Very good, easy, made with ingredients I already had, kids husband and mother-in-law all liked it, half and half was a little rich so it would be good with regular milk, all of which results in a 5 stars rating for my kitchen!

Being a Minnesotan I have made many wild rice soups. This recipe is great. The only thing I add is some slivered almonds at the end of cooking.

I really enjoyed this soup. I substituted evaporated fat free milk for the half and half with good results. The soup still had a rich taste with less fat. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing.

Such a wonderful, flavorful soup. I loved the wild rice in it. I cooked the rice and veggies one day and finished it off the next. Very easy and we will have this one many times again.

LOVED it... Started with 2 raw chicken breasts -- poached in the liquid in step 1. Removed, and continued on as indicated. Totally hit the spot. I used wheat long grain rice - instead of wild and it was wonderful....

Absolutely the best!! The only thing I modified was the rice, I used UB infused wild rice and it was ready to go in about 20 minutes. All 4 of my overly picky teens at it until gone (had to double the recipe to feed them all).

"When can you make this again?" and my daughter hadn't even made it to the bottom of the bowl!
WINNER and it was so easy, this is a family favorite already. Thank you!

Made as written except I had to simmer mine for a lot longer and the rice still wasn't completely tender. Also it got extremely thick, next time I would probably add some more stock. All in all it was a good comforting soup. Thanks for sharing.

This was SO, SO good! I made it a few months ago and forgot to review it until now. I am making it again for dinner tonight and can't wait to have it again! A wonderful, creamy comfort food!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I'm a huge fan of Panera Bread's Chicken and Wild Rice Soup, and this is just as good and probably a little more healthy than theirs - I used 1/2 the milk amount as 1% milk and it was still nice and creamy.

I had been looking for a recipe for chicken and wild rice soup after trying it at Panera. This recipe is so much better! I love this recipe and so does my family. Definitely a keeper! Thanks so much for sharing.

A very good soup! I doubled the recipe and followed as directed expect I used fat free half-and-half. I also used an extremely low sodium chicken broth and had to add salt. Lastly, I added about 12-15 drops of hot sauce for a little more flavor.

This is a wonderful hearty soup! Definitely use a homemade stock if possible. It adds to the richness of the soup. My whole family enjoys the great combination of flavors.
