This soup is the perfect comfort food for a cool autumn or winter day. Serve it with a hunk of warm bread to soak up every last drop.
We had this soup the other night and it was so delicious! The prep only took ten minutes and the soup simmered for about 50 minutes. It’s easy enough to make as a last-minute weeknight dinner if you have everything on hand. The original recipe came from Skinny Taste but I changed a few details to suit our taste. If you’re in the mood to do some baking, this seedy bread is perfect to serve with it.

Hi Rene, can you recommend the brand of long grain and wild rice mix that you use? Thanks!
Susan, our grocery stores are still not fully stocked. Normally, I use Near East or Uncle Ben’s, but I think most brands would be okay as long as they have the flavor packet. Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Thanks Rene…I was wondering where the seasoning packet came from.
