Santa Fe Wild Rice Soup

Read Reviews (10)

"Quick, easy and just a little bit spicy!! A great garnish for this soup is homemade fresh tomato salsa. If you do not all ready have a recipe just combine 2 diced tomatoes, 1/3 cup green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves, 1 teaspoon lime juice or red wine vinegar and salt to taste. Top soup with fresh cilantro and salsa and you will love the flavor." — CORWYNN DARKHOLME

Directions

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine corn, onion, carrot and 1 can chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until onion is tender.
Stir in remaining chicken broth, wild rice, green chili peppers, chili powder, cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper. Simmer, uncovered, about 5 minutes or until heated through.
Top each bowl with fresh tomato salsa, sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

Very good soup!!! I didn't have any frozen corn so I used 1 can of corn (drained) and I used 1 (4oz) can of green chiles instead of 1/2c. I also added a little more carrots and added a green bell pepper (chopped). ALSO, I grilled some chicken seasoned with cajun seasonings, cubed it and added that too! VERY GOOD! Not too spicy but a nice "warm." Instead of salsa, I sprinkled some sharp cheddar cheese overall. Would make again! Thanks Corwynn for another great recipe!

This was okay, but not to our taste. We had great hopes for this. Thanks for the recipe.

I used less celery and onion and probably a little more rice. EXCELLENT for a cold night. Thick and yummy with crusty bread and butter on the side. Kids didn't complain too much either and it was nice to have a meat-less meal.

This was good but it lacked something and I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I did run short on wild rice and threw in some brown but the rice wasn't the problem. I think next time I would lose the carrots and add rinsed black beans in the end instead? Anyway, I am giving it a 4 because it was was very flavorable and easy to make and my hubby enjoyed it but it just lacked a little something to me.

I made it creamy by sauteing the onions and adding flour and cooking that for a minute. Then at the end I added milk/cream. It was pretty amazing! Thanks for the idea

Great weeknight dinner. I just use a box of the Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, and I added celery and garlic. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet this wold be good with some shredded chicken!
