I love Fall! As soon as it feels even the littlest bit like Autumn is coming I bust out my soup recipes. I would love to share a few! The first one is called Chicken and Wild Rice soup. I didn’t create this soup, but whomever did is a genius in my book. We made it last week and we took some pictures. It is easy to make and delicious. It’s not the healthiest soup around, but it could be worse. This particular recipe won my husband first prize in a soup cookoff at work last year. It was one of 17 soups, so you know it is good! Enjoy!
Yummy Ingredients:
1 small onion chopped
1 cup shredded carrots ( i just chop them into tiny pieces using this)
5 cups water
Uncle Ben’s “fast cooking” long grain & wild rice mix ( 1 pkg)
1 pkg frozen broccoli 10 oz ( after it softens a bit I use this to chop it into smaller pieces)
2-3 cups shredded or chopped chicken ( I buy a rotisserie chicken and pull the meat off)
8 oz velveeta cut into cubes
1 can cream of chicken soup
Directions Ya’ll:
Saute onion and carrots over medium heat in some buttah until soft ( about 5 minutes)
Add 5 cups of water
Next add the seasoning packet from rice mix and then the cream of chicken soup
Then add the broccoli and chicken
Add the velveeta and stir until melted
Stir in rice and reduce heat
Simmah and enjoy!
Serve with salad and/or whole wheat Italian crusty bread to make this meal feel healthier

Ohhhh, that looks so incredibly yummy!
Bookmarking this!! I would probably leave out the broccoli (maybe substitute spinach?) but this looks YUMMY.
Looks very yummy– I kept thinking “Why is this not so healthy?”, because somehow I skipped over the velveeta. Now, I get it- but a little velveeta never hurt anyone, right? I mean, what’s so wrong with cheese in a box?
Yum! I’m making potato wild rice soup this weekend, but this one’s next. Thanks for sharing!
My hubby loves the chicken & wild rice soup at Panera. I might have to try this!

Sounds delicious! I will have to put this on the menu!
OMG - I’m totally making this!!!! Mmmmmmm - Did I give you the Mac-N-Cheese Soup recipe?
Yay!
OK, Ladies, I JUST made this. My husband isn’t home yet and I’m having a hard time drinking the entire pot. It’s delicious. Here were my tweaks:
- Substituted frozen peas for broccoli
- Added a few cloves of minced garlic
annnndd..get ready…:
- ADDED THE WHOLE DARN 16 OZ. BLOCK OF VELVEETA
Oh, yes I did. And so should you!
…that would be, I’m having a hard time NOT drinking the entire pot.
