Cheesy Wild Rice Soup

Name: Cheesy Wild Rice Soup
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 1 package (6.2 ounces) fast-cooking long grain and wild rice mix; 4 cups 2% milk; 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of potato soup, undiluted; 8 ounces process cheese (Velveeta), cubed; 1/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

We often eat easy-to-make soups when there's not a lot of time to cook. I replaced the wild rice requested in the original recipe with a boxed rice mix to make it even faster.

Ingredients

1 package (6.2 ounces) fast-cooking long grain and wild rice mix
4 cups 2% milk
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of potato soup, undiluted
8 ounces process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
1/2 pound bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Directions

In a large saucepan, prepare rice mix according to package directions. Add the milk, soup and cheese. Cook and stir until cheese is melted. Garnish with bacon.

All-time family favorite. Make it every Christmas eve. It's a tradition. I've been making this recipe for company and for family from my 1st taste of home cookbook 15 yrs. ago. I use wild rice. I have even purchased canned precooked wild rice. Double the recipe. You won't be disappointed.

This recipe was so good that my 7-year-old daughter wanted some of the left-overs for breakfast the next morning!

I would like the original recipe. We like "REAL" Wild Rice not the packaged combo. Thanks!!

I don't care for the taste of Velveeta, so I use an 8-oz package of shredded colby and monterrey jack cheese - the texture of this soup is really interesting, one of our favorites!
