Our family loves this soup on a cold winter night. If you want a less rich soup with fewer calories, substitute milk for the half-and-half. —Barbara Schmid, Cavalier, North Dakota

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

This was a great way to use the frozen turkey from Thanksgiving. My family loved this soup. We will definitely make this again.

Tastes very good but turned out a little thicker than I would have liked.

Turkey or Chicken it's good. I added bacon for a little extra flavor and cut back on the celeryto 1/2 rib, added some scallions and used milk instead of half and half. Yummy!!!

My family liked the flavor of this soup...doubling the celery and mushrooms was my only change to the recipe.

I've made many attempts at Creamy [chicken] Wild Rice Soup over the years, and this is so flavorful and velvety. My first words to my husband after tasting my first sampling spoonful was, "This is restaurant quality!" Finally, I have mastered the creamy wild rice soup! I did add 2 cloves minced garlic and chopped carrot and ended up using a cup more stock, and I could not be more pleased. Thanks!

We loved this soup...that being said, I made a few revisions. I added carrots and about a 1/4 cup of Philly's cooking cream Savory Garlic and I also used Skim milk. Will definitely make this soup again.

Took this to a church soup supper, and it was all gone in minutes. Many asked for the recipe. My husband, whose not usually a soup lover, can't wait til I make it again.

Probably just a mistake that this recipe only had ONE star--clearly the reviewer loved it just as much as we did!

I made this with leftover Turkey from the freezer, and have since made it with cooked chicken. It is AMAZING!!

My changes were to add butter to equal the flour ratio, and I added 1 1/2 - 2 tsp. of Emeril's Essence.
