Cheesy Chicken Wild Rice Soup Annettes Recipes

CHEESY WILD RICE SOUP

CHEESY CHICKEN & WILD RICE SOUP

Steps:

• Start by cooking chicken, onions, & mushrooms in pot until chicken is cooked through and onions and mushrooms are soft.
• Next add crubled bacon and wild rice (I like to use 2 cans of wild rice but you can buy the boxed kind too and prepare it ahead of time)
• Add both cans of cream of potato soup, milk, and Velveeta. Stir all ingredients until mixed well.
• Heat on medium until cheese is melted and everything is blended.
• Season to taste ( I like to just add pepper since the Velveeta makes it a little salty already)
• Turn to low and let simmer for a while, stirring frequently.

CHEESY CHICKEN & WILD RICE SOUP-ANNETTE'S

Steps:

• Boil the wild rice in 2 cups of water or according to package directions until rice is done.
• Chop bacon while still frozen then fry until crisp and drain on a paper towel.
• Use enough of the bacon grease to lightly saute carrots, onions, celery and mushrooms. I start cooking them in this order as the carrots take a little longer to caramelize slightly. Do not saute too long, only enough to take the crunch out of the veggies slightly and add some color and flavor.
• Mix all of the ingredients in a 6 quart Crock Pot. Cook on high for 30-60 minutes until cheese melts, stir well to mix again. Turn to low for at least 2-3 hours until soup reaches the desired temperature to serve. Enjoy!
• ****This can be made on the stove top but obviously because of the cheese and milk you have to watch it to make sure it doesn't scald or burn. Cook at a low heat once you've gotten the cheese to melt and stir often.****

WILD RICE CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, fry the Italian sausage and onions until sausage is no longer pink. Drain and set aside. In a small saucepan, cook wild rice with 2 cups of water until tender; set aside.

• Pour the broth & water in the pot then add the rice & seasoning packet. Bring to a boil then lower heat & simmer for 20 minutes, covered.

• Mix the salt, pepper, & half-and-half in with the broth. Then add the Velveeta & shredded cheese to the pot. Stir until the cheese is melted.
• Mix the cornstarch & a small amount of water in a cup to form a running paste. Pour this into the broth, stirring until it thickens.

CHEESY CHICKEN WITH WILD RICE

Steps:

• Boil Chicken breasts (they should be at least half way cooked, but do not need to be completely done).
• preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
• Soften cream cheese in a large microwavable mixing bowl for around 15-30 seconds in the microwave, depending on your wattage. when soft, mix the cream of chicken soup, mayonnaise, cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper until smooth.
• CUT the uncooked strips of bacon into small 1/4 inch squares ( I use my cooking shears, it goes much faster than using a knife) Add the bacon pieces to the soup mixture and stir in well.
• CUT or tear the boiled chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and place in a 9x11 glass baking dish, or a glass dish of similar size (with at least 2 inches depth) Its ok if you need to do more than one layer of chicken.
• Pour the soup mixture over the chicken and smooth until even.
• Bake at 350 for about 30 minuets or until top is bubbly and cheese is melted.
• Begin cooking your Wild Rice once the casserole is in the oven (PLEASE NOTE: Cook times and water measurements will vary depending on your altitude and the type of rice you buy, be sure to consult the package for proper measurements and instructions) Rice may take between 20 and 30 minuets to cook.
• Serve over wild rice and enjoy!
