Tips for Making Turkey or Chicken Wild Rice Soup:

• You can use cooked Turkey or cooked chicken for this recipe.  
• You can use your favorite rice.  I like the wild rice in this recipe because it gives the soup a nice texture. Barley would also be good.  Just be sure to cook it for the amount of time listed on the package. 
• You can use your favorite veggies in this recipe too.  Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peas, celery, and onions are all great options.
• This recipe also freezes great, however, when you thaw it, you may need to add a little water or chicken stock to thin it.  The rice absorbs a lot of the liquid and it’s nice to have some broth too.
