Best Wild Rice Soup Ever image

My husband LOVES this soup! I used to make only 6 servings, but now I always make 12 and it still usually only lasts an extra day! Take some time with this recipe -- it's worth it! I serve this hearty soup in bread bowls with a salad on the side.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thick. I had to add some extra water to thin it out.
