Mn Wild Rice Soup

"I love this soup!! I cut some calories too by using fat free half & half and reduced fat margarine! Great for camping--can just throw it on the fire and it reheats great! I like to throw some cayenne pepper in mine to give it a little heat too!"

  1. The weather turned cool here and I drove home from work thinking about a nice French onion soup... but no beef stock. I did a quick search and found this recipe for which I had the ingredients. What a great choice! With the left-over chicken breast from a deli chicken and everything else specified in the recipe, I put together one of the best soups to come out of my meager kitchen, ever. I particularly like the roux as a thickener. This is a very creamy soup! Yummy! I'll test the reheat properties tomorrow as I plan to make the leftovers my lunch!
