    Comfort food is what everyone wants right now as we head into winter. This Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is just the thing!

    Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

    Hey people! It's Mandy from Mandy's Recipe Box. We just got our first snow of the season last week and I was not ready for it. My car was buried and it seems like everyone forgets how to drive when snow comes. All I wanted to do was stay home and watch Gilmore Girls (!!!) and eat this Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup.

    Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

    Be sure to stock up on boneless skinless chicken breasts when they're on sale and freeze them. It makes life so much easier to have them on hand. Once you cook the chicken and cut it up, this soup is ready in about 30 minutes. It's so creamy and flavorful. The trick is to use a box of long grain and wild rice mix like Zatarain's. It's a great short cut and makes it taste so good.
