Wild Rice Chowder image

Our Test Kitchen adapted Amy Chop's recipe to use up leftover wild rice. "I found this years ago, and it has become a family favorite," says the Oak Grove, Louisiana cook. TIP: "Try adding cooked chicken or smoked sausage. There are endless possibilities for new and exciting variations," Amy says.
