Tender cubes of chicken, fresh vegetables and wild rice make this soup hearty enough for a meal. You can't beat the down-home comfort of a warm bowlful. I like to serve it with whole wheat rolls. —J. Beatrice Hintz of Neenah, Wisconsin

We love this soup. I use a box of long grain and wild rice along with the seasoning packet and add a bunch of fresh mushrooms. That might help the reviewers who thought it was a bit bland.

If I would make this again, I think I would add more salt and/or some bacon. It was a little boring.

modified this like crazy to make it taste the way I thought it should. Added more chicken bouillon cubes,sherry and parsley. soup was too thin so i used a ton of mashed potato flakes and gradually introduced it back into pot. i pureed much of the veggies as well then re added them to the pot.

This is a keeper. The best cream soup I ever made!! I didn't have just wild rice, so I used a box of long grain and wild rice. Fantastic! Oh, and I also added a can of chopped mushrooms at the end.

I trusted the recommendations of others and made this soup for the first time. We really like it; I'll certainly be making it again. I put in extra carrots and celery.

A simple, straightforward recipe that's easy to prepare and fast. The pantry staple ingredients are deceptive because the soup is extremely flavorful and delicious. A big hit at our house, we will definitely be having this again!

I substituted white rice and added some frozen veggies. Worked out well for nice and creamy goodness on a winter night for dinner. Only 4 stars because I prefer a spicier flavor but the family was happy and I zipped it up in my bowl a bit.

Excellent recipe!! Added Baby Bella mushrooms for even more flavor. Also, rather than add all wild rice (very expensive) we added some cooked brown rice. I would certainly make this again
