Melissa P says:
Could not find pure wild rice so had to use a blend that had other grains mixed it with it. I really enjoyed this recipe, I thought it had nice flavor and loved the creamy element. Wouldn’t mind making this again but with chicken.
George Delamea says:
You HAVE to try this! You won't believe how great this is on a cold day. I would recommend not changing a thing; this recipe is perfect as-is. I wanted to add more vegetables, but didn't and am glad I didn't.
Randall Hauk says:
Creamy rice dishes are so comforting. This one is no exception. I loved the use of wild rice, which I find to be vastly underrated/underused. I used chanterelle mushrooms because I had them. Definitely better than white or even cremini.
Sam Dalton says:
This was a really good soup. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but it was delicious. Wild rice is a favorite ingredient in our house, so whenever we have an opportunity to cook with it we do.
Laura Griffin says:
I'm obsessed with this creamy soup. It was so delicious! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, so technically mine wasn't vegetarian, but it was so good. Definitely going to make it again!
