Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
It’s been a busy past week or so here at The Hill
House. I’ve been wanting to post a particular recipe since last Friday
but I just kept not getting around to it… So I finally wizened up and
kinda sorta maybe wrote this at work. Sssh.
I really wanted to share this because I made my first ever homemade soup and it was so darn good, we fully plan on making it again ASAP.

Some wonderful backstory… This soup is kind of like a Minnesota cliché/staple.
And even though I grew up in Minnesota,
the first time I had Wild Rice Soup was during a trip home after going away to college. It was at the
Oak Grill atop the Macy’s in downtown Minneapolis (known as Dayton’s in its
hayday). I simply love going to the Oak Grill anytime we visit MN. They serve some
stellar popovers before your meal and their asiago crusted chicken is so beyond
words – YUM! And then there’s their wild rice soup, another
delicious treat.
We hosted our community group last Thursday and made this
soup and it was a total hit! It has left me wondering if all soups are this easy.
So without further adieu… here’s the beloved recipe
that went straight into my personal
recipe book.

And like an idiot I completely neglected to take a picture
of it when it was fresh. But it looked as good as it tasted.
Now go forth and make this soup!
P.S. We ended the meal with P-Dub’s insanely delicious
Pumpkin Cream Pie. It really is a pumpkin pie for those who don’t like
pumpkin pie (like me!!).
What a healthy meal, huh?
