Just made this for dinner and it was delicious. My husband loved it! Did a few things differently after reading the other reviews. I sautéed an onion, once celery stalk and some chopped baby carrots in butter and garlic first. Then added the broth and water, using an extra cup of water to make up for the added veggies. I used the whole box of rice (6 oz.). For the roux, I used 6 tbsp. of butter and less flour (about 1/3 cup). Definitely recommend it!

I made the recipe according to directions, using top-quality ingredients. Simply: this soup is very good - but definitely falls short of "excellent". Perhaps with changes mentioned by other reviewers it might graduate to "excellent" - but as directed, it is merely very good. Warning: during the final stage, make sure to stir frequently to avoid burning (and/or use low heat and/or a simmer plate).

I have been making my own version of this delicious recipe for the past three years and for the very first time I added the seasoned wild rice . With the addition, it was much better!! Thanks.

My family LOVES this soup! I always make it using a rotisserie chicken from Costco and following the review written by naples34102. Also, I use regular rice instead of quick-cooking and it works just as well.

This is my go-to meal to bring to friends who just had a baby, surgery, or just need a little pick-me-up! Comfort food at it's finest. I say it's 5 stars as-is, but I do add some veggies to it. I saute 3 chopped carrots and 3 chopped stalks of celery in olive oil, chopped onion and chopped garlic and add that in with the chicken.

Loved it~ My kids even loved it, and they are not fond of creamy soups! I followed some advice from previous commenters. I used lowfat milk, and did add 1/2 cup of the carrots, onion, and celery which I cooked ahead, with a little olive oil. I also added one piece of crisp bacon and about a teaspoon of rosemary. SO GOOD!

I absolutely LOVE this recipe, as did my guests. I added a few handfuls of chopped celery, carrots and mushrooms as well as a small diced yellow onion to make the soup more hearty and to add a little crunch (add more or less of each veggie according to your preference). My sister-in-law said it was the best she'd ever had. I'm from Minnesota, so we know our wild rice soup - and I think I have to agree with my sister-in-law. It's like a warm, buttery Ritz cracker in your mouth, BUT BETTER! My brother and sister-in-law have already requested it again (many times, actually) and I plan to make it for them soon as a series of dinners I'll be bringing over to their house now that they're brand new parents! A TOTAL KEEPER!
