Very good soup. I used chicken but I think ground beef would be just as good! -
Oh yeah! This was super yummy. I'm putting it into my regular fall/winter-time rotation. I made as directed. I used Uncle Ben's Original Wild Rice. I think it's closer to a chowder than soup, but could be thinned out if you wish...it doesn't need it. Seriously good soup! Try it. Update: It was even better the next day. What's with the title chicken and wild rice soup? Other than the broth, there's no chicken. :-) -
With a few changes: Chicken, milk, double the rice and omit the onions and carrot. I enjoy carrots and onion but feel the soup is better without. -
I made a double batch of this soup for a progressive dinner. I followed the recipe exactly... except that I doubled the amount of rice since I used a blend of wild and brown. I used 2% milk and it was still very creamy. I asked the people who came to help me come up with a rating and they gave it 10 stars until I told them 5 was as high as you could go. 4 people have already asked for the recipe and I directed them to this site.

This is a very good recipe! I use ground turkey and put the rice in uncooked with 1 cup of extra water. All of my family loves this recipe and I have two toddlers. Thanks for an easy family pleaser!

Delicious! I made a few changes for convenience: I used 2 cups leftover chicken instead of ground beef, used 2 cups cream instead of half-and-half, and used a box of Uncle Ben's brown and wild rice (but didn't use the Uncle Ben's seasoning). Everything else stayed the same. It was amazing, thanks Jan! -
This was super delicious. I will make it again often. I did not make it in a crockpot though. I sauteed the onion and carrot in some olive oil and then added in the other ingredients. I also made it more naughty and used heavy cream instead of the milk so it was super creamy and yummy and I did not add the cheese because my son wouldnt eat it. Excellent! -
Love this soup! But use cooked chicken instead of ground beef.
-
I made this with a can of chicken instead of the hamburger. It was delicious, and that made it even faster to prepare! Loved it!

I made this recipe for a luncheon for my godmother and it got rave reviews!!! They wanted the recipe and even went back for seconds. I did use cubed chicken instead of the ground beef and I added the optional onions and used skim milk in place of the half and half. I will definitely be making this for myself in the future. Thanks for posting!

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
