"I tasted this thick and hearty soup at a food fair I helped judge," writes Kathy Herink of Gladbrook, Iowa. "It didn't earn a ribbon, but I thought it was a real winner. The original recipe called for uncooked wild rice, but instead I use a quick-cooking rice blend."

Tip

Chopping Onions

I’ve found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia

I HAVEN'T MADE THIS YET BUT I AM LOOKING FOR A RECIPE THAT USES ALL WILD RICE AND AM JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH WILD RICE TO USE IN IT INSTEAD OF THE BLEND. I DON'T MUCH LIKE MIXES. I KNOW THEY ARE QUICKER BUT THEY USUALLY HAVE MUCH MORE SODIUM IN THEM. MAYBE THE LADY WHO PUT THIS IN COULD LET US KNOW HOW MUCH WILD RICE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL RECIPE. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. THANKS.

This soup was so delicious! I made it for my boyfriend's family and it was a big hit! The next time I made it for my own family, but I stuffed bell peppers with it instead of leaving it by itself! I will definitely be making this again and again... it is so easy and delicious! :)
