Trick to this soup is using uncle Ben's original 23 herbs and spices Wild Rice WITH the spice packet. You don't need salt if you use this.

This was delicious and tasted very much like the wild rice soup you get in restaurants (I hate the canned versions). I added some carrots and 1 tbsp of chicken bouillon for some extra goodness. It was a bit thick and started off a little bland, so in accordance to the other reviews, I'll be adding more milk and salt the next time I make it. It's very easy to make even for a novice mac-and-cheese cook like me!

I mixed up dough in my bread machine and served this delicious recipe in homemade breadbowls. It was the perfect meal for a cold night. I doubled the recipe and my husband ate it for nearly every meal for three days. He then complained I had not made more. The only downside was that it required quite a bit of salt to bring out the flavor. Even so, definitely a keeper!

I really enjoyed this recipe and it's quite easy to make. The only change I made, based on other reviews, was to a tbsp of chicken bouillon soup base. It added a bit more flavor and salt. I also included quite a bit of salt. It's very hearty, almost a stew so I may add more chicken stock/milk next time. Will definitely make again.

This really had no taste to it at all. It's only semi-creamy and I don't understand the point of the rice if all you will do is pour the liquid over it!

I was skeptical while making this b/c it didn't look impressive - but it tastes so wonderful. If you use quick cooking wild rice, be sure to add extra stock to the final soup b/c the rice absorbs so much liquid. Fantastic with salad and buttered bread.

I was not impressed with the flavor. Even after added carrots, parsley, sage, and LOTS of salt, it was nothing special.

Excellent and easy. A very thick and hearty soup. Great with homemade bread. I used a box of Uncle Bens Wild Rice and found that at the end I had to add one more can of chicken broth. It soaked up all the moisture. No problem,it was a quick fix and it solved the problem.

This was great. I used shallots in place of the onion and I think next time I will leave out the celery (personal preference). Used half of a rotissere chicken and uncle ben's wild rice mix. You can get everything else together while the rice is cooking. Very quick and delicious, everyone at dinner loved it. Thanks.
