The soup I’m making for us, today....creatively using up leftovers from earlier in the week.

Diana’s Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

3.5 Cups Chicken or Veggie Stock (Total of 5.5 cups, see below)
1 cup uncooked Wild Rice, rinsed & drained
3 ribs chopped celery (some leafy tops, too!)
1 small onion, chopped (1 cup)
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 can chicken (12.5 oz, or about 1.5 cups leftover chicken)
1 4 oz. can mushrooms (I like the Porta Bella from PA Dutch)
2 cans Cream of Chicken or Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 more cups Chicken or Veggie Stock

In a 4-5 quart heavy stock pot with lid, combine 3.5 cups stock, 1 cup uncooked wild rice, the celery and the onion. Bring to a boil. Cover & simmer for 50 minutes until rice is tender.

Add the chicken, mushrooms, cans of soup and 2 more cups of stock. Blend and cook uncovered for 10 minutes or so to heat through.

We noshed on chicken soup most of the week. I picked up a 5-pound bag of dried shiitake mushrooms a while back, and they do wonderful things for soup.
