Add both cans of cream of potato soup, milk, and Velveeta. Stir all ingredients until mixed well.
Heat on medium until cheese is melted and everything is blended.
Season to taste ( I like to just add pepper since the Velveeta makes it a little salty already)

Don't overcook the rice: Wild rice can become mushy if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's tender, about 45 minutes.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main flavors in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. I recommend using a sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese.
