I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great! It was very flavorful and the wild rice gave it a great texture. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I also added some shredded cheese to the top of the soup and it was a great addition. Overall, this is a good soup, but it needs a little bit of doctor

This soup was easy to make and it turned out great! I used brown rice instead of wild rice and it was still very good. I also added some shredded chicken to the soup and it was a great addition. This is a great soup for a cold winter day.
