  1. Excellent!
     
  2. Once you cook the wild rice, this comes together quickly - and it's worth cooking wild rice ahead of time and keeping some frozen and ready to use. Halved the recipe, but used more broth (2 cups), with 2 cups milk. (This made three servings for me). I did not have Velveeta, but had some kind of equivalent cheese that I picked up by mistake a while back. I also added some real cheddar cheese, which melted very nicely. Also used a few crimini mushrooms, which added nice flavor. Great flavor, and I love that I would nearly always have these ingredients handy.
     
  3. Really, really, really good comfort soup. Maybe not quite the best soup I've ever tasted but awfully good. Used half the cheese to lower calories as fat content is high. The advantage of using Velveeta is that it melts well and doesn't clump. We also added a bit more rice, and garnished with some imitation bacon bits. For the broth we used something called Better Than Bouillon, a vegetable-based product that is very tasty. Thanks so much for this recipe, will be making again. Try this recipe, you'll be pleased.
     
  4. I adore soups during the winter months and this is just about as good as it gets! It isn't gourmet... but it is dang/darn good! I come from a long and undistinguished lineage of white trash and love velveeta cheese in soups! Grating the cheese seemed like a lot of work for me so I just cubed it...I think it worked out just fine. I'm basically, a lazy broad. Lol. I also used chicky broth instead of water...I had a ton of it that i needed to use up but I think the dish would have been just as good without it. Honestly, this is a good, comforting soup that was enjoyed immensely on a cold Texas day. Thank you, dienia! By the way- I LOVE PAUL HARVEY- "Good Day!" LOL
