Wild Rice Soup

Wild Rice Soup
As the oldest of eight girls growing up on the farm, I began cooking at an early age! This soup—which I first had at my sister's house—brings me compliments no matter where I serve it. My husband and I have been married for 51 years, and we have four children and eight grandchildren.
