Wild Rice Chowder

By: Amy Chop

"Our Test Kitchen adapted Amy Chop's recipe to use up leftover wild rice. I found this years ago, and it has became a family favorite, says the Oak Grove, Louisiana cook. TIP: Try adding cooked chicken or smoked sausage. There are endless possibilities for new and exciting variations, Amy says."
