Expert Tips

Vegetables offer a host of nutrients including vitamins A and folate. Be sure to get at least 3 to 5 servings of veggies daily.

Cooking wild rice on the stove-top can take up to 50 minutes, so using a slow cooker is an easy alternative. To quickly thaw frozen vegetables, rinse them under cold, running water. It's best to thaw frozen veggies before adding them to a slow cooker recipe.

Looking for a reasonably priced slow cooker? They're easy to use and don't heat up the kitchen. Check your neighborhood garage sales or local thrift shop.

Overall very good! I agree that this recipe comes out more like a chowder. Do not worry if it looks very soupy to start it thickens quickly. I used milk instead of half and half ,but it probably would have still been great without adding dairy. I added some garlic and basil too. Very yummy on a cold winter evening. Will make again!

This soup was wonderful! I did add salt, pepper and garlic to the soup. It was a cross between a soup and a chowder. I also doubled the recipe.

This soup was OK. It filled you up but lacked pizzaz.
