I used a package of Uncle Ben's White and Wild Rice with seasoning pack and added the extra cooking time necessary for it as it was the closest thing I found for the long grain and wild rice blend. An easy and tasty soup the whole family enjoyed! -
I really enjoyed this soup. It was quite easy to make and tasted great. -
My family also enjoyed this soup recipe. I was going to thicken it but found it already quite thick with the rice in it, I actually ended up putting another 2 cups of milk in. Thanks for posting. =)

I am married and have three children ages 9 to 16. I work full-time so between work and attending as many school functions as I can possibly fit in, I have little time to prepare "gourmet" type dishes which require a lot of preparation time. I like tasty, quick-fix meals that use ingredients that are usually in my house and don't require an extra trip to the store. When I'm not waiting on my family or working, I like to do counted cross-stitch and recently started a new hobby----quilting.
