I'm originally from Minnesota, where wild rice grows in abundance and 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

This is delicious! Could add more chicken if you like a lot of meat but I seriously don't even think the chicken is necessary.

Everyone really liked the soup, but it had a little too much juice. Next, time I will add less chicken broth.

It's a good soup, but rather bland. We added some salt to each serving. I'll add 1/2 tsp. of salt to the pan next time. In addition, I added a handful of shredded cheddar cheese to the last bowlful after reheating it--it was delicious.
It was a good soup, but missing salt! Next time, I'd add 1/2 tsp of salt to give it more flavor. My family doesn't like mushrooms & carrots, so I had to omit them. I added a handful of shredded cheddar & a bit of bacon to the last cup of soup & it was wonderful.

Wonderful recipe that I will use from now on. Modifications: (1) I didn't use the canned soup, but used 2 cups of half & half at the end; (2) I couldn't find wild rice, so had to use a blended mix; (3) used chopped carrots instead of shredded. Marvelous! Family loved it!!!

I did not have wild rice but used a box of Uncle Bens wild rice mix, and it worked great.
