Uncle Ben’s Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

8 Jan By

I’ve been making this Chicken and Wild Rice Soup recipe for a few years now. It’s perfect for those cold rainy days we have here in the PNW when you can’t seem to warm up. I can’t remember where I got the recipe, but it’s so simple! I love a simple and tasty recipe that’s also fast! This soup allows me to get a healthy dinner on the table when I’m pressed for time. Add a salad and a whole wheat roll and these cookies for dessert and you’re a rock star! My Bacon Avocado corn bread goes pretty good with this too.

Easy Chicken Soup

You may be surprised that this recipe starts with a box of Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice. Easy Chicken soup recipe Sure you could just use wild rice from a bag, but this recipe makes it easy by using half the seasoning packet from the box. I suppose you could also season it yourself too and omit the Uncle Ben’s all together. It would still be a quick meal. I’ll do my best with the measurements. My recipe card that I follow only has the ingredients scratched out….I add the amount of each that I need. It’s the way I cook. Just give me a guideline and I’m good to go.
