Wild Rice Soup

It is really starting to feel like fall here! It has been chilly a few days, though not too bad with the sun out and shining. It is perfect weather for some homemade soup and this recipe had little preparation (besides cooking the rice) and was so delicious! A great meal on a cool fall day!

Wild Rice Soup From Sparks from the Kitchen Cookbook

3/4 cup onion, chopped
3/4 cup celery, diced
3/4 cup carrots, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
3 slices bacon
1 cup chicken broth
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (I only had one and it was still very creamy)
2/3 cup wild rice
2 soup cans of milk
1 small can mushrooms with liquid

Brown bacon. Reserve 3 T. drippings and brown onion, celery and carrots in remaining drippings. Simmer with chicken broth and soup.

Cook wild rice in 3 cups of water for 1 hour; add rice to above with milk, mushrooms and bacon, crumbled up. Heat thoroughly.
