This recipe was very easy, quick and very delicious. I left out the potatoes, added more carrots and added canned mushrooms. I also used real half-and-half. This recipe rivaled that of a local restaurant chain's wild rice soup! My 2 year old loved it also!

I love this soup and have made it many times, I add extra broccoli to it but it's great the way it is, also.
