Name a better way to stay warm this winter, guys. I’ll wait.
A bowl of this creami-licious chicken mushroom wild rice soup and a cup of may-or-may not be spiked hot chocolate. And bread. Gotta have that bread.
Oh man. It’s comfort food x10000. You guys know I live on the cozy food from October all the way through like March. Whenever the winter coat goes back into the closet.
I would eat this soup err’ day for the rest of winter if you let me. Obviously wild rice soup is the Lord’s gift to us. And mushrooms and chicken added to the party is pretty much the wrapping paper and bow on this perfect little soup package.
Check it out, y’all. It’s chicken mushroom wild rice soup time in THIRTY FIVE minutes. None of that simmering-all-day nonsense. When ya want comfort food, ya want it NOW. >>>
- We’re gonna saute up all our veggie + chicken goodness first off. The base to soup goodness.
- The rest of the soup gets made right in the same pot. Chicken stock, half-and-half, milk, and a big pile of precooked wild rice. (leftover wild rice will work PERFECTLY here)
Hello. You are staring your new cozy food lover right in da face.
It is seriously SO big on the flavor for only having simmered a few minutes, guys. Obviously you gotta have this with some crusty bread close by for soaking up ALL that creamy goodness.
And then it’s basically rinse and repeat. This soup. On repeat for the rest of cozy food season. ♥
