Looking for a recipe for a quick & creamy and hearty Chicken Wild Rice Soup? I would love to share mine with you!

As the weather gets colder, I love to serve hearty soups.  This Chicken Wild Rice soup is one of my favorites!  It is quick to prepare.

Prepare The Wild Rice

uncooked wild rice

The most time consuming part of the process is going to be cooking the wild rice.  One cup of uncooked wild rice will make 3 – 4 cups of cooked wild rice.  Since the recipe calls for 1 cup of cooked wild rice, I freeze the remaining cooked wild rice in 1 cup portions so I have some ready to go the next time I want to make this soup or another recipe calling for cooked  wild rice.

After measuring out 1 cup of uncooked wild rice, place the wild rice in a strainer and rinse the rice three times by running cold water over it.  Once the rice is rinsed, add it to a heavy saucepan containing 3 cups boiling water .  Reduce the heat and allow the rice to simmer for 35 minutes or longer if necessary.  Drain any remaining liquid.

The wild rice is cooked when the dark color of the rice becomes lighter and the rice is no longer shiny.  The pieces of rice will start to split open as well.  If you prefer a chewier wild rice, cook the rice for a shorter amount of time.

Now we are ready to make the soup!

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
