Deb's Wild Rice Soup

Deb's Wild Rice Soup ( our new favorite )

a dear friend gave me this recipe after I served at girls camp on year.  She had the recipe tied to the box of Uncle Ben's and it was so cute! I changed the recipe just a tiny bit.  Enjoy!

*8 Cups Water (Original Recipe calls for 5, but that was too thick for me)
*Uncle Ben's Wild Rice & Seasoning Packet
*2 Chicken Bouillion Cubes
*1 Tb. of dried chopped onion
*Any Vegetables you like (I usually just add cooked carrots) and sometimes I grate them.
*Cream of Chicken Soup
*8 Oz. of Cream Cheese Softened
*Cooked Chicken (if desired)

Cook any vegetables you want to add in to the soup:

In another pan, bring to boil the water, bouillon, rice and seasing packet and then turn down and simmer 20 minutes or until tender

Then add:

1 TB dried onions and simmer 5 minutes and

Add cream of chicken and cream cheese, cubed 

A trick to soften cream cheese is to heat water in a glass measuring bowl in the microwave 4 minutes and then pour the water out and put the bowl over the brick of cream cheese and let the heat soften it

 Whisk in cream cheese and cream of chicken soup

Add any cooked veggies you like (fresh or canned) like shredded or diced carrots, zucchini, yellow crooked neck squash, asparagus, etc… 

( I only added cooked carrots and I have made it without adding any veggies it was still good )

Then add:

1 rotisserie chicken, cut into bite sized pieces (I often used canned or baked or leave out the chicken completely)

It is SO delicious. We devour it.
