Wild Rice and Ham Soup - Lower Fat
"A tweaked version of Byerley's Wild Rice Soup (from the Minneapolis, MN grocery store's cookbook). I wanted less fat and came up with this. After Christmas, I use left-over ham. After Thanksgiving, I substitute left-over turkey - probably even less fat with turkey!"

This was fabulous, Linky! I had a pork chop to use up, so I tossed that in too, but other than that, I didn't make any changes. It was delicious. My husband oohed and aaahed and even had a second helping, which both are not common for him. We enjoyed it with fresh home-baked French Bread. It was a lovely meal. Made for Culinary Quest 2015 (Canada/ Quebec). -
This soup really hit the spot on this cold and snowy night. We omitted the sherry and used a brown and wild rice blend. and I added some sliced almonds to my bowl. Very quixk and easy, It made a very tasty and warming dinner with hot biscuits. Made for: For Your Consideration.
