Soup season is upon us, my friends and I couldn’t be happier about it! I love serving homemade soup and homemade bread for dinner. It’s so comforting and wonderful. (Also, it works well for crazy afternoons when my kiddos are in and out. Soup left in the crock pot can be dished up and served in a hurry, after all.) This new soup recipe I brought along to share with you today is fantastic! It’s slightly thick (not quite like a chowder, but almost), is loaded with shredded chicken, tender wild rice and cheddar cheese.

Hope some of you get a chance to try it!

Notes

Once refrigerated this soup will thicken up a lot. To serve leftovers, add a bit of milk before reheating.
