Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Wow, wow and more wow is all I have to say about this recipe!! It was so delicious... When my hubs finally stopped inhaling the soup after his second bowl he told me that this was his favorite soup of all time and that I needed to make it at least once a week!! High compliments from my meat and potatoes guy... It was rich, creamy and wonderful! I definitely recommend trying it! :) Hubby says that the only thing that would make it better would be a bread bowl under it... Guess that is my next mission and I even have a recipe set aside that I have been wanting to try!
