This winter feels like it’s never going to end. I can’t wait until spring produce and recipes, but for now another freezing day…. Another pot of soup! This one is super easy -I used a rotisserie chicken shredded instead of starting with a raw chicken. The whole soup cooked in under an hour-just the amount of time the rice takes to cook. I put this together After being out all day and not really wanting to order In or go back outside!
If you aren’t eating wild rice you should be! It’s Ah-mazing! Has a great almost nutty flavor. And it’s super nutritious too- it’s a great source of protein, minerals, B Vitamins, and folic acid.
