Chicken, wild rice and mushrooms are combined in this rich and hearty soup – the perfect Fall comfort food.
We love this soup in my house, I originally posted this a few years ago and it's become a staple in my home on chilly nights. I've tinkered with the original recipe so if you have an older printout, you may need to reprint this one. The photo also needed a serious make-over because I was still working when I first posted this in 2011, and I probably took the photo the next day.
It was originally a make-over requested from a reader who asked me to lighten up her original recipe, which was loaded with butter and heavy cream. The beauty of this soup is you really don't need all the cream, because rice is a natural thickener for soups and it actually gets thicker the longer it sits (you may even need to add more water the next day before reheating to adjust the correct thickness to your taste.) I add a little sour cream at the very end to give it a touch of cream, and it's just delicious (my husband loves it!)
For the wild rice combo, I use a Carolina Long Grain and Wild Rice packet. If you can't find that brand, you could use Rice a Roni Long Grain and Wild Rice.
