This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used brown rice instead of wild rice and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the soup for extra flavor.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I also added some chopped green onions for extra flavor.
