Cream of Turkey & Wild Rice Soup With Weight Watchers Points image

From Eating Well 2008 This is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread. 4.5 Points per 1 cup serving. Ingredient note: Quick-cooking or instant wild rice has been parboiled to reduce the cooking time. Conventional wild rice takes 40 to 50 minutes to cook. Be sure to check the cooking directions when selecting your rice-some brands labeled "quick" take about 30 minutes to cook. If you can't find the quick-cooking variety, just add cooked conventional wild rice along with the turkey at the end of Step 2. Tip: To poach chicken breasts, place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a medium skillet or saucepan. Add lightly salted water to cover and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, 10 to 12 minutes.

This soup is a solid 3 out of 5. It's not the best soup I've ever had, but it's definitely not the worst.

This soup is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would add more vegetables and maybe some different herbs.

I'm not sure how I feel about this soup. It's kind of bland, but it's also kind of comforting.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I added some water, and it was perfect.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I added a few extra vegetables to the soup, like carrots and celery. It made the soup even more hearty and flavorful.

I'm not a fan of wild rice, so I substituted brown rice. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I always have a lot of turkey after Thanksgiving, and this soup is a great way to use it up.

This soup was a hit at my last dinner party! Everyone raved about the creamy texture and the rich, flavorful broth. I'll definitely be making this again soon.
