I used a package of Uncle Ben's White and Wild Rice with seasoning pack and added the extra cooking time necessary for it as it was the closest thing I found for the long grain and wild rice blend. An easy and tasty soup the whole family enjoyed!

My family also enjoyed this soup recipe. I was going to thicken it but found it already quite thick with the rice in it, I actually ended up putting another 2 cups of milk in. Thanks for posting. =)
