Very good soup! I do have a few little tips...I was always taught, that when you make broth, (chicken or beef), always add celery, onion (lots of them), parsley or other herbs you like to the pot, as your broth will be much tastier! Use the outside of the celery bunch for the broth, as the inside, more tender parts, will be nicer in the finished product. Don't worry about the size of the "chunks" as you discard these veggies. After the broth and meat are done, strain and discard all of these veggies and herbs. Then continue with the remaining recipe. Also, if you can not find regular wild rice, use a box of Uncle Bens long grain and wild rice, but omit the seasoning packet. I made half of the soup recipe, and only used one box. It was a great soup. I wish we would have had bread bowls, as it was so nice and thick! Thanks for the recipe!

I added flavor in my preparation, hence the 3 star rating on the basic recipe which I thought would be too bland as written...I need my garlic. The end result was amazing (better than any restaurant version) and well worth the time. My significant changes: 1)Three dried bay leaves added to simmering chicken; 2)replaced fresh mushrooms with 1/2oz of dried chopped up porcini mushrooms to the soup,the flavor was amazing; 3)sauted four chopped garlic cloves with veggies, 4)added wine right after sauteing veggies rather than at end of recipe; 5)added a handful of fresh sage leaves towards end of cooking because I have them (dried sage, thyme, rosemary or other aromatic herb would be great, but added earlier); 6)increased salt and black pepper to taste. 7) I used 3 bone-in chicken breasts (plenty of meat) and substituted 5 cups of homemade stock and 2 cups for remaining water in recipe 8) butter instead of margarine. This recipe is a great starting point, but needs your personal touch to make it truly spectacular! I've made this with and without wine, it really makes a difference. So does the dried porcini. Regular mushrooms just don't add the drool-worthy flavor.

My husband and I eat soup year round. This has become our number one choice. The only "problem" is we can't stop at just one or even two bowls. Every time we make it we take some to a friend or two and everyone one of them begs for the recipe. Our only change was to use 2 packages of Mahatma wild rice (and spices included) because we were unable to buy plain wild rice, and we add more mushrooms. We omitted the salt as it wasn't needed. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.

I made it like it said, I thought it was kind of bland but my boyfriend said wild rice is and he really enjoyed it I just like things a little spicier but maybe I was numb from drinking the ingredients.

This is a fantastic soup: rich, flavorful, and elegant. The wine gives it a sophistication it might not otherwise have and the whole chicken gives it the feel of a complete meal. I used 1 cup of heavy cream in place of one of the cups of milk, just because I had it on hand, but otherwise followed the recipe. Don't be afraid of the long ingredient list, people -- it's not difficult and it's very worth it!

This is absolutely AWESOME! I used chicken breast and an 8 oz package of whole mushrooms which gave me more than 1 cup when sliced but since we like mushrooms, I used the whole package. I sauteed the vegetables in butter instead of margarine and for added richness I used two 24 oz cans of evaporated milk plus one cup fresh milk. I used two packages of Uncle Ben's Long Grain & Wild Rice (without the seasoning packs). This was definitely one of the most delicious soup recipes I have ever tried! Thanks!

Very good! The wine is what really makes it special. I followed the recipe just about exactly, although I threw a few garlic cloves and bay leaves in the water while the chicken was cooking (and later discarded them with the bones). I also substituted carrots for the mushrooms, as my husband isn't a fungus fan! The only comment, our batch needed significantly more salt. I used reduced sodium bouillion granules, so this may have been the reason. No problem to add the salt, but it seems like 1/2 tsp. would be not nearly enough for such a big pot of soup! Will make again, though, with these minor changes. Thanks for the recipe!

This was really good!! Instead of a whole chicken I used chicken cutlets. I cubed the chicken put it in a pot with butter, salt & pepper and cooked it. Then I added 3 cans of chicken broth replacing the stock that the whole chicken would have cooked in. I also used regular rice instead of the wild. It came out perfect. My family really loved it. My son said "this is incredible".

Wow!! I made this last night. It was so good that my boyfriend gobbled down 3 huge bowls. I added carrots, the celery and the onion to the chicken while it was boiling. I used chicken tenders cut up into chunks before boiling. I used 5 cups water and 2 cups chicken broth. I also added about 1/4 tsp of sage, thyme, and rosemary to the boiling chicken.

Yummy! This soup tasted so good! Like the others, I used chicken broth instead of water... I used half the amount of oil, and 1/3 of the wine to saute the veggies in. I also used breats instead of a whole chicken.
