YUM YUM YUM! That is all I can say about this recipe! I love this Chicken and Wild Rice soup because it is so flavorful, hearty, and it’s delicious! The best part about this recipe is that it can be ready in 30-45 minutes! Especially on a cold, snowy, wintery day like today, it is the perfect dinner! I love it and I think that you will too!
I buy my Wild Rice in bulk at Winco! They just opened a new one down town and I am beyond excited! It is right next to my house!! If you need to stock up for Thanksgiving, the Holidays, or just food in general, this is the place to go! Deals and deals on deals! But yes, I buy my Wild Rice there, but you can buy it at any grocery store!
This recipe calls for canned chicken. If you don’t like canned chicken, feel free to cook some up in the oven and add it! Or, you can use the already cooked rotisserie chicken from Costco! It comes in a package for like $12.00 and it’s two whole chickens, skinned and chopped! I don’t have a problem with canned chicken, but just in case you do, you can try this instead!
This recipe is adapted from an amazing cook in my old ward! She is so talented and makes the most delicious everything! She shared this recipe with me, and I tweaked it a little bit to my liking, and it’s amazing! Also, you can shop this awesome Cast Iron Dutch Oven right here on Amazon! It’s the perfect size for soup making!
