I'm originally from Minnesota, where wild rice grows in abundance ans is very popular in recipes. This soup has been part of our Christmas Eve menu for years. To save time, I cook the chicken and wild rice and cut up the vegetables the day before. —Virginia Montmarquet, Riverside, California

I didn't have Cream of Mushroom Soup on hand, so I used Cream of Chicken. Either would be delicious I'm sure.

This soup is wonderful! It's exactly what I was looking for. The only thing I did different was I added half and half. It made it a little more creamy.

I modified this recipe and left out the mushrooms because I don't care for them. I didn't have celery, so I added extra carrots. It turned out so yummy and flavorful! We ate it with a side of garlic toast. It's a very filling soup.

This was so easy and delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken so I had less prep. The cream of mushroom adds just enough to make the broth thicker and almost creamy, but still light. It is the perfect soup for a winter day.

Very nice recipe! Strong earthy mushroom and rice flavors, which I really enjoy!

This is one of the best wild rice soups to make. It enhances the flavor of the rice and doesn't get all mushy. This is also wonderful with ham, with ham and chicken or with smoked turkey.

I made this soup for a church fundraiser and it was a hit. Very tasty and very good!! I am not fond of celery, so I substituted celery seed and it came out great. Loved it!
