This is one of our all time favorites and people love for me to bring it to potlucks. It's a thick, hearty soup.
This is something I came up with (I'm sure I didn't invent it) when I had a bunch of wild rice from Mn.


I start my wild rice a little before I add reg. riceA(wild rice seems to cook slower). Proportioned according to your likes and needs. Cook it in water flavored with chicken stock (my favorite is L.B. Jamisons) cube up some chicken pieces (what ever kind you like) and a little celery, and shredded carrots and cook till done. mmmm
