Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

'Tis the season for comfort food. January means cold, and that means soup for dinner. So why not have some comfort food for dinner during this cold month? I love this recipe of chicken and wild rice soup. My mom makes it for our family and we all just love it. Plan on having a warm and cozy family dinner with this soup! This recipe makes a nice big pot of soup. My husband and I half it for just the two of us. And big thanks to our good friends at myrecipes.com for the photo! I've never been very good at photographing soup.
