I actually hate to rate a recipe based on my own additions, as a few have done here. Bc the ratings aren't accurate. The only things I did different were, no potatoes (bc the soup is hearty enough), added 1/3 more broccoli, carrots and onions. 3 cups of leftover rotisserie chicken. The soup, I agree with others lacked in seasoning. Added a cup of chicken stock. In addition to 2tsp of poultry seasoning. It was amazing!!!! The creamy chk wild rice soup I usually make is made with a roux and tasted so floury. This was perfect. Love it and will be a staple here!
Why are there potatoes in this soup ? I've hd this soup at lots of restaurants and its never had potatoes in it
I adapted the recipe and used med grain rice and salmon from the can. onion, celery, carrot. Kids loved it. Great way to get salmon into them.
This is really hearty and creamy and delicious! It was a bit bland, so I stirred in 1 Tbsp. of chicken bouillon granules and a sprinkle of Nature's Seasons seasoning blend, and it was perfect! It just needed a little bit stronger of a chicken flavor to the creamy soup part. That was just right. I would definitely make this again! It's hearty enough to eat for dinner.
This was AWESOME!!! I increased the amount of Chicken Broth by 1 C and added 1tsp of Garlic Powder and 1/4 tsp Ground Red Pepper. My husband could not stop raving about this soup. I will make it again and again.
Perfect base recipe for the soup I was craving! A little time consuming, yes, but worth it. Added the juice of two lemons and a couple teaspoons of garlic powder. Doubled the rice and the broccoli. Great soup.
This was a very good recipe. I found it a little time consuming for a soup, but the results were worth it. Give it a try!
this was my first foray into a creamed soup and all i can say is WOW!!! it is my new favorite soup, i had got some frozen bread loafs and it said how to make a bread bowl, so i wanted a cream soup, i switched it up a little, no carrots, added broccoli and cauliflower....and doubled it..so glad i did as now i will have leftovers
Great soup! I added some cayenne pepper and potato flour ( instead of flour). So yummy!
I took a short cut by sauteing the cubed chicken first in some butter, then adding onions and carrots until tender. Afterwards, I added the broth with potatoes/broccoli/rice and brought everything to a boil. Finally instead of half-and-half, I used heavy cream--didn't feel like skimping on the soup--and a few tablespoons of cornstarch instead of flour. It was delish!!
