My husband has been making this chicken, wild rice and mushroom soup recipe for years and years. It is everything for mushroom lovers! We’ve had an incredible winter this year with more snow than the last three years COMBINED. Soup is very nostalgic for me. It reminds me of growing up in the winters of Iowa, being at home cozy with my family and it reminds me of my grandparents.
Jason doesn’t eat this soup! He doesn’t like mushrooms. He makes this soup for me because I am obsessed. Side Note: I could eat soup every day of the week, even in the summer. Just ask Jason!!!
