Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Posted by on

dsc_4490 Soup! It’s what’s for dinner more days than not when the temperature begins to plummet and the busyness of October, November and December appear. I’ll be honest, the temperature doesn’t even need to plummet for me to enjoy a delicious bowl of soup. There are as many great tasting soups as there are books written about the subject.

Dinner still needs to be prepared and this time of year, the easier the better. No one wants to heat up the oven and in turn heat up the kitchen.

This main dish salad is perfect for these hot summer days and the leftover make great lunches for work the next day. [Read more…]
