This is the second chicken/wild rice soup I've tried from this site. It is excellent. The almonds gave a nice crunch and interesting taste - my father's favorite thing about the soup. I used white wine instead of sherry but next time I'll either use more white wine or try the sherry because you could hardly taste it. I made the mistake of making two cups DRY wild rice and had about enough to sink a battleship. Ended up with two pots of soup though which was nice.

This recipe is INCREDIBLE. My new favorite soup. A little time consuming, but well worth it!! My changes: no mushrooms, curry, sherry, or almonds. I used milk instead of half & half. To make my chicken broth, I poured 6 cups of water into a pot, threw in the raw chicken breasts & 6 tsps of chicken bullion & let it simmer while my wild rice was cooking. Served with fresh bread for dipping - what a meal!

Sue, thank you for this recipe. I have used it MANY times and have been asked for the recipe over and over. I have made it in large quantities (80 servings) or small. It freezes beautifully. Thanks to AllRecipes for the serving calculations--I use them lots.

I have made this frequently since finding the recipe in 2004! My family and I love it and it does freeze nicely. I do leave out the mushrooms (not a fan) and I only use about 1 cup of the Half n half - we found it was too rich with all the cream the recipe calls for. Also, I don't add the almonds to it because my husband and youngest daughter don't like them, so my oldest daughter and I add them seperately to our own bowls. You can also substitute leftover turkey in place of chicken!

THIS SOUP IS WONDERFUL. WE ATE EVERY LAST BIT. I USED MARSALA WINE INSTEAD OF SHERRY.

This was my first time making a wild rice soup. I used only 1 c. wild rice (was all i had) i followed the instructions given on the package for the rice, which was 4 c. water per 1/2 cup of w.r. I also only used 1 c. half and half (fat free) and only 2/3 c. of flour, all with positive results. I didn't have any celery on hand so i subbed 1/4 tsp of the salt for celery salt and increased the carrots. Savored by all. Thank you Sue!

I have made this several times for company and it always gets RAVE reviews! I trasfer it to a 6-qt crock pot after adding the half and half and let it cook for 3-4 hours on low.

I can't say enough good things about this recipe. My husband asked me if I could make a recipe that was similar to the one he had in college. This was it. Super huge hit with DH (darling husband) and with both kids (now that's a miracle). We have one bowl left after 2 days, but I'm sure it wont last long. As with previous reviewers I left out the sherry, curry, and almonds. I also served it with warm parmesan bread sticks. Also, my husband usually complains that we have too many leftovers, but he didn't mind so much that I had made the full recipe!

I'm just learning to cook, but this recipe makes me look like an accomplished chef. Every time I make Sue's soup I have to print the recipe again. Each time I have fixed it, my guest's ask for the recipe. This recipe has half of San Antonio talking about my native Minnesota.

Since moving to Minnesota, I've tried several wild rice soup recipes - this is the best yet. Several steps can be completed the nite before - cooking/cubing the chicken, cooking the rice, etc. I've found that the key is to learn how to cook wild rice first - I always use 4 cups of water to one cup wild rice with a tsp of salt and boil it for approx. 40-50 minutes. Then I divide it into to large baggies of 2 cups each, which can be frozen for later use. I added 8 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, substituted garlic salt for the salt, and ommitted the curry and mustard powders. I also used 3 cups of cooked wild rice instead of two. A GREAT recipe that I will use again.

I made this several weeks ago and although the flavor was very good....the consistency was just a little too thick for me. If I was to make it again...I would not put the half and half in at all as the way it was before adding it....would have been just thick enough for my liking. Overall though....it was good.

Very tasty and fragrant soup; it does have a tendency to thicken up overnight in the fridge and become more of a stew or casserole. I used a low-fat chicken broth, brown rice (I cooked the rice in leftover chicken broth for added flavor), and grilled the chicken breast. The mushrooms added a lot of flavor and the almonds added a nice crunch. Plus, I'm a fan of any recipe using sherry - it's excellent in split pea soup, too! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Sue!

very good, but too much rice. I kept having to add more broth so it would be soup-otherwise it's a rice dish. Next time I will cut the rice by half. Otherwise it's a very delish soup ricipe

Contrary to Sue's statement, it does not freeze well. The cream separated in the freezer and I had to add milk when reheated. A rather bland soup - salsa might jazz it up.

Simply fatastic! I had some green onions and broccoli that I threw in and it turned out really good!! I also used a wild rice and brown rice mix and added a little fresh garlic. This is definitely a recipe I will be using a lot in the future.
