Wild Rice Chowder image

This is a hearty soup with a lot of texture. It is perfect for this time of year when you are snowbound with a roaring fire and some crusty bread. You can really change the taste of the soup depending on what kind of chicken you use. Poached chicken yields a good flavor, whereas roasted chicken offers a more complex taste.

This chowder was delicious! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme and parsley, at the end. It really brightened up the flavor.
