This is a GREAT hearty soup/stew! I LOVE wild rice soup, and this was the best I've tasted! I followed some of the suggestions by coking the rice in broth, and doubled the amount of rice. I also added some bouillion to the broth mixture before adding in the cream. I also used milk instead of cream. It was still very thick and creamy! What a great dinner, and the family really liked it! Even my picky eater!

Yum!! I also added half a cup of white wine near the end. This just finished it off perfectly.

This recipe turned out to be the perfect base for a turkey soup. I included three turkey legs (most of meat removed) into the rice cooking water and then transferred them with the rice into broth. I used a wild rice mix instead of just wild rice, the full 2 cups of 1/2 and 1/2, added 1.5 carrots and 2 celery stalks and 1/2 cup of turkey chunks. My husband was extra complimentary about this recipe. As other reviewers noted, it is a creamy, soothing soup that is good for a cold night.

I LOVE this recipe and have made it several times this fall since discovering it. I tried it "as is" and then made it healthier (couldn't tell the difference) by using 2T butter and fat free half and half. I also added 2-3 cups chopped turkey or chicken, 1/2 tsp crushed dried thyme, 1/2 tsp. crushed dried parsley, fresh ground pepper. Everyone raves when I make this and I've shared the recipe with several people already.

Excellent and easy. I substituted chicken stock for the water and used FAT FREE 1/2 and 1/2 with about 2TBL fresh rosemary. Next time, I'm adding chicken!

This soup was awesome!! I modified it by adding increasing the rice and vegetables and added chopped fresh mushrooms. I reduced the half-and-half and substituted 2% milk and some flour to thicken it just a bit. The family loved it!

This to me is the ultimate "comfort soup"...very rich and creamy. The rosemary is the key to the wonderful aroma of this soup. I have made this many, many times and never used to be a big fan of wild rice, but now I am! I personally changed the recipe by cutting the butter quantity in half (otherwise a lot of the butter ends up floating on the top) and I use 2% and skim milk instead of cream and also I love to add a small can of mushrooms (finely chopped). If you like creamy soups like "cream of broccoli", you will like this soup.

Very good soup. Using water in which the rice has cooked in the broth makes for a nuttier & wild-ricey-er flavor. I added 2 chicken breasts (cut up, of course) and I think next time I'd use 2/3 of a cup of wild rice instead of 1/3 of a cup.

My husband can't wait to invite his parents over to show off this recipe. He thought this was the best soup he has ever had. I did modify it a little bit by using a can of evaporated milk instead of the cream, plus I added a little thyme. Very good! A+
