Maybe it's because of the fact that I was driving around using the air conditioner earlier this week but the 40 degree reading on the thermostat this morning felt EXTRA cold. I really don't mind the cold weather - fuzzy scarves, cozy sweaters, hot chocolate, big bowls of soup - all things that I like to enjoy when the temperatures drop. Last we warmed up over giant bowls of Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. It definitely hit the spot on a cold November evening. Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup 5 slices bacon 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup thinly sliced carrot 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery 8 ounces sliced mushrooms 4 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups chicken broth 1 cup water 4 cups spinach 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 6 ounces shredded rotisserie chicken breast 1 cup wild rice, cooked 1 cup half and half 1/3 cup flour
Ladle into bowls and top with bacon. Starting with a rotisserie chicken really makes this soup come together quickly. I was a little skeptical of adding the spinach but even the green-phobic eater in the house ate it up. This really was a tasty soup and thank goodness we have plenty leftover to reheat for lunch today. Stay warm friends.
Ciao!
