This recipe for hearty wild rice soup was submitted by Kathy Herink of Gladbrook, IA to Taste of Home magazine. It’s featured in the Oct./Nov. issue of Taste of Home’s Simple and Delicious magazine I received at the Taste of Home Cooking School. I’ve tried several recipes from the magazines I received and so far I’ve been pretty happy with most of them.
My friend Anne made the recipe first and suggested I try it. It was a big hit with her family and my family loved it as well. It’s a very hearty and filling soup so it makes a great main meal. I have a feeling this soup will become a new staple recipe in my home during the winter months.
I love the fact that it’s easy and only takes about 20 minutes to make from start to finish. I buy frozen chopped onions which shortens the preparation time even more. I can’t tell you how excited I was several years ago when I learned you could buy frozen chopped onions. Two onions seemed like a lot to me so I probably only added about one. I hope you enjoy this warm satisfying soup. Let me know if you give it a try.
