Good, thick soup. I left out the celery and added about a tablespoon of minced garlic. I also added an extra cup of chicken stock because the soup was a little thick for my liking.

Delectable, but I had to add a lot of spices, especially Cajun powder (or, more specifically, Special Sh*t).

Good flavor, texture. Love the wild rice. Thanks! The only change I make is substituting lactose free milk for the cream since I am allergic to cream. Makes it not as thick of a chowder as the recipe calls for, but it works for me.

This is great! Perfect homemade chicken wild rice soup. Best part: gluten free!!! I cooked mine in a crock pot and the rice took a long time to cook, but once it was done I added the 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and it was ready to eat right away. I added salt to taste. Also - I did not puree anything, it is already thick enough. I also added extra chicken. Next time I will add mushrooms, then it will be perfect. LOVE this soup!

This is such a delicious fall dish! I had to make a few changes due to a lack of ingredients, I didn't use carrots but I added 1 chopped turnip, 6 chopped baby potatoes, and I substituted the heavy cream with a mixture of 1/2 c milk and 4 tbsp of butter. The texture turned out perfectly, even my picky family enjoyed it!

Pretty good! I wanted to make soup at the last minute for lunch today and this didn't take any more than thirty minutes to make PLUS I was able to use some canned foods out of my pantry. I used a pkg. of Uncle Ben's rice, canned white chicken (think the big cans you can buy at Costco), and a large can of mushrooms, rinsed. I did stir a half cup of fresh parmesan cheese into the hot, cooked rice before combining it with the soup. Very filling and most comforting on an overcast day like today. This made enough to eat on for the rest of the week, too.....combined with half a sandwich!

Hearty and tasty! Threw this together for a quick lunch for a friend and I. I agree pureeing 2 cups of the soup is key to the consistency. Thanks for a great recipe!

This was great! Had wonderful flavor and texture! I forgot the bay leaf but oh well....maybe next time. Pureeing the 2 cups of soup is a must for a chowder like consistency. Definitely will be making this again!!!
