Woodland Wild Rice Side Dish

Fresh ingredients may of course be used, but for the last minute chef, the recipe was adjusted to use items that come in standard size cans. Baby shrimp or cooked chicken could be added during the last 10 minutes of cooking or this might be served with pork chops. I have turned left overs into soup by placing them in a bowl and adding hot chicken broth just until covered. Cooking is a Creative Sport.
