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

Since we like carrots in our soup and a very hearty soup, I used 3 lg carrots, 2 celery ribs and approx. 1 1/2 cups of Chicken. I also used whole milk instead of evaporated and it was delicious! We will most certainly have this soup again!

This is a really yummy & hearty soup. Put turkey in the slow cooker, rice in the rice cooker on time delay, and when I got home from work, threw everything in a pot on stovetop and a couple minutes later had great soup! Served with bread that I had on time delay in bread machine too! YUM!

delicious and filling! I love soup all year and this one is easy and quick. I use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and tear it off the bone, this adds so much more flavor in the chicken and its easier oh so tender! this is a keeper

My husband rated this as top 3 in things I've cooked for him. I didnt rate it that high.. It is good but too sweet. I like savory things better. Next time I will use half the evaporated milk. Served with cornbread.

This is the best soup! You can't beat the taste of wild rice. I've made this multiple times and never get tired of it.

The flavor of this soup is really nice, but I have made it twice and had trouble getting it to thicken both times. I had to add more flour. It also works nicely to add other vegetables like broccoli.
