I have a few soups recipes on my site that include wild rice and chicken. They are all delicious. However, I did’t have one that included bacon until I got this recipe for Chicken, Bacon, and Wild Rice Soup.
I got this recipe from a friend at work. She was telling me how she was having make this soup for a large group and we were discussing how many batches she should make to feed everyone. After our discussion, I ended up asking her about the actual recipe and found out it included bacon. She told me how much her boys love the recipe and I figured my family would love it too!
This recipe comes together quickly on the stove top. It was simple to make and the bacon was a welcomed addition. We loved this soup and it is one I will definitely be making on a regular basis.
