Sometimes, I just want to eat soup all winter. If you feel the same way, this Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is just the thing to warm you up. Ironically, the last few days have been unseasonably warm here. But, it was cold when I made this, and it cooled down again late yesterday, so we are are back to soup weather. This soup takes a little time to cook, but it really isn’t labor intensive, so that makes it even better on these days that I really just want to hibernate.
