YUM!!!Whole family gobbles it up!!I leave out pimentos (yuck) and added carrots and corn. I have substituted 2 C egg noodles for rice and almost as good. Will try 2 boxes of wild rice and some mushrooms next time. Flavors are out of this world!!

Great soup, but more like a stew (which I prefer). Husband makes this for me on cold days - we usually double or triple the amount of rice and then use skim milk and a bit of all purpose flour instead of cream. It turns out great - thick, rich, delicious.

This soup is really rich. I kept having to add water to it when I reheated it, probably the rice. I probably won't make it again. Maybe try a recipe with less butter and less cream. Just a little too overwhelming.

This is the best soup recipe I've ever tried! The soup was extra thick and creamy. Better than any wild rice soup I've had at a restaurant!

Our family loves this recipe! Instead of mushrooms, I added some corn for color as well as omitted the pimentos. I usually try to be true to the recipe, but my kids won't eat a lot of things...pimentos being one of them. Thus, the reason for my change. I still use the green onions, but do add some yellow minced onions as well. I also add in some minced garlic, just a pinch. I think next time I will use some shallots..just to see how it turns out. My kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this soup and so does my husband. It has become one of the "keepers," as we call them.

Absolutely delicious! I simmered my chicken pieces in broth & water til cooked, then cooled & shredded them. Added 1 can water, then 1/2 c.wild rice + 1/4 c.pearl barley & simmered 30 min, then added 3 thickly sliced carrots & simmered 15 min more. Then I added the roux - used 1 large chopped yellow onion in a combo of butter,butter substitute (ICBINB),&EVOO to reduce fat. Used only 1/2 c flour, then 2 c.skim milk. After adding that to soup & stirring to dissolve any clumps, I added chicken, 1 can mushroom drained (instead of pimentos) & 10-oz bag spinach - cook until spinach is wilted. We had it for dinner along with oven-roasted sweet potatoes and it was awesome. Made a big pot, which will let us enjoy lunch, dinner and lunch! My husband rated this 4-star but enjoyed it a lot.

Excellent! Was so sure it was going to be good, I doubled it with the following slight changes. Used wild and brown rice mixed, ommited the pimentos, cooked the chicken (leg meat) in a little garlic and used no fat half & half slightly warmed. Will be freezing some so I'll see how that works out. Great flavor with a chowder-like consistancy which can be diluted. with water or milk

I had a terrible time getting this soup to turn out right. I may be doing something wrong. But even when it didn't turn out, it still tasted ok, it was just much more of a stew than a soup.

This is a great soup! However, I did add some things after reading previous reviews and my husband said he couldn't imagine it without the additions. I sauted mushrooms with the onions, and, because they produce liquid of their own, I was able to reduce the amount of butter. Also, I added some precooked white rice, which added some really nice body. Be sure that you wisk the flour roux into the cream really well.

A wonderful recipe - even with the changes I made. I made the mistake of making this recipe using a long grain/wild rice mixture. Like another said, it turned out really doughy. So I threw that batch away and made it again using 1 c. of egg noodles. (A bonus of this recipe - it's really quick when you use noodles!) I added carrots and shredded the chicken rather than cubed it. It turned out to be a creamy chicken noodle soup! I didn't have any poultry seasoning on hand so I just used a medley of spices (thyme, basil, rosemary, etc.) It turned out great - even my picky eaters liked it! Next time I'll try the poultry seasoning - I'm sure it will be even better. Also, I ran out of cream after the first doughy batch and so only used milk for the second try. It was still delicious, but I think the cream (even half cream/half milk) will make it even more smooth and creamy. Anyway, thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!

This was FABULOUS! In addition to the wild rice, I stirred in 1/2 cup of leftover white rice and a handful of tiger shrimp. There are no leftovers! Thanks Glenda!

Mmm mmm good!! I've made this using both egg noodles and wild rice...you can't really tell much of a difference. My grocery store doesn't carry raw wild rice, so I used the heat and serve, boil in a bad type of soup...which worked great because I just added the rice during the last step with the chicken and pimentos and before I knew it, my dinner was ready. It was so quick this way!! I like to add 8 oz canned sliced mushrooms at the end, as well (sauteeing them with the onions, i've found, will cause them to absorb too much of the butter, leaving chunks of flour). I use light butter and skim milk instead of the heavy cream. I liked the idea of adding celery as other reviewers suggested, but I didn't have any on hand so I threw in a can of cream of celery soup when I mixed together the broth and onion mix. Everything else I left the same...and it tasted GREAT!! With the red pimentos, green onions, and white of the broth, this would make a wonderful christmas soup!!

I loved this recipe. The only problem was that it lacked flavor at the end. More seasoning and some lemon juice fixed that. mmmmm...... Also, I used mushrooms.

I think I need to make this again. Whatever you do, don't use white rice. It makes the soup really doughy, so I had to add water, and then it reduced the seasoning taste. I can definitely see how it has potential though.

Absolutely delicious. I added a package of pre-cut mushrooms, and really enjoyed the addition. I may try to substitute something less fattening than cream next time, to cut down on the fat. But made as the recipe indicates, this is one amazing soup.

I had a little trouble with this when I added the flour to the onions and butter it became a dough ball. I added some water and that didn't really help, so I went ahead and added the cream and spices. I had to wisk it to get the lumps out and was worried that it wouldn't work out. When I added it to the rice and broth everything turned out awesome. My wife and I believe this is the best wild rice soup we have ever had! I highly recommend this.

I took some of the submitter's advice - used a little more wild rice, sauted reg. onions instead of green onions AND some minced celery, fresh sliced mushrooms, & shredded carrots. Finally, at the end, I added a jar of diced pimentos. Ended up w/ a nice big pot of great tasting soup! I had a craving for this sort of thing and this recipe really hit the spot! Thanks Glenda for the recipe and your helpful hints!!

I mistakenly added this review to another recipe (Creamy chicken and rice soup) that I haven't made yet. THIS is the soup I made and it was wonderful. I doubled the recipe and was able to cut down on the thickening ingredients because it didn't need it all. I didn't use pimentos because I didn't have any and no one missed them. This was the best tasting soup I have ever had. My whole family thought so.
