Wild Rice Chowder image

This is a hearty soup with a lot of texture. It is perfect for this time of year when you are snowbound with a roaring fire and some crusty bread. You can really change the taste of the soup depending on what kind of chicken you use. Poached chicken yields a good flavor, whereas roasted chicken offers a more complex taste.

I added some chopped bacon to this chowder and it was amazing! It gave the dish a smoky flavor that really took it to the next level.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste. I would add more broth next time.

This chowder was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the rice was a little mushy. I probably won't make it again.
