EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Wild rice isn't rice? No, it's an aquatic grass native to North America. The chewy texture of wild rice makes it a perfect meat substitute, but cooked white or brown rice can be used instead.

*To toast the almonds in the microwave, place 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil and the almonds in a 1- or 2-cup glass measuring cup. Microwave uncovered on High 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until light brown.

Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Soup: Add 2 cups chopped cooked chicken with the remaining ingredients in step 4.

Yeah, what's with the completely inaccurate picture? I was preparing to make the recipe and looked back at it and realized I forgot potatoes but would not have used ground beef or sausage, whatever's in the picture. Regardless, I followed the general idea of the recipe and it was delicious. I added stewed chicken and used the homemade stock in place of the water and veg broth in a can (loads of sodium in that, make your own!) I cooked the wild rice by the distributor's directions so had to adjust the liquid quantities a bit. Needed "something" so I added a few splashes of hot sauce. Yummy, I definitely recommend.

I look at the photo and the soup looks really good, however when you use the ingredients as listed...am I missing something? What are the brown lumps and the white chunks in the photo?
