Cooking Steps

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place bag in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors and pour soup into a serving bowl.

2

MICROWAVE ALTERNATIVE: Cut one corner of the bag; pour soup into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.)

3

SALAD: Empty contents of salad kit into a large bowl. Drizzle with as much dressing as you like, then toss to evenly coat.

This soup was delicious. The wild rice made it very flavorful. We added some leftover chicken to the soup. Perfect meal. Salad was fine, but we're not fond of Kale!

First time trying this soup. Loved the wild rice which made it "chewier". The flavor wasn't exciting, but more cozy and comfort food. Very nice.

I normally don't like wild rice because it seems to always be a bit crunchy. The rice in this is not.

You make excellent soups, and this was no exception. Delicious! How about clam chowder in a bread bowl?
