I don't make a lot of soup with rice, but this recipe is so good! I had some ham to use up, plus some half and half, so it was perfect. The only thing that I did different was add some cayenne pepper just before serving, and used a wild rice mix, as that is all I had. We like most things with a little "kick". We had it with salad and crusty french bread, and it was wonderful! Thank you for posting. It will be on our special soup list from now on.

I did not rate this a 5 only because I thought it had too much pepper and it was too thick. And I like pepper, but a tbl and a half was too much. Next time I will add only 2 tsp of pepper and use only 3/4 cup flour to make the roux. Other than that it turned out very good and very hearty. My store did not have plain wild rice so I bought a brown and wild rice blend and I liked the variety of rices. I ended up adding two more cups of chicken broth to thin it down a little. I will be making this again.

While good, this soup didn't wow me.

My version of this soup is the same except instead of almonds, I use 2 cups of diced, cooked chicken. I love the creaminess and the added tang that the sherry gives. Serve with crusty, fresh bread and a nice salad.

This was just O-K. Once all the ingredients were combined, I could tell that, in all, it just wasn't that interesting. Soooo, I added a little (well, actually a lot) of red pepper. It definitely kicked it up and made the soup a lot more tasty. I also used about 3 times more ham than what is called for; it helped things along too. All in all, there was still something missing, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I will likely not be making this again; all the family could muster is, "well, it's different for sure".

Wow~ is right! This soup is very yummy. I added 1 cup of diced ham & 1 cup of diced chicken. I also used 2% milk (lower fat) and it still was rich and creamy. Sherry is optional. Would definitely make again!
