Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup

Tried and true. I made this for lunch today and it was so delicious! I had leftover chicken and leftover wildrice, and this made the yummiest soup. It is definitley worth trying. I really don't think exact measurements matter, just throw in what you got.

Abt 1-2 cups cubed chicken, cooked
Abt 2 cups cooked wild rice
3 stems celery, chopped
1/2 sweet yellow onion
1 cup sliced carrots
3 slices bacon chopped
2 tbsp butter
A few dashes of parsley flakes
2 cans cream of chicken
2 cups milk
About 2 cups water (or until you reach the desired consistency, it is super thick without the water)
Salt & Pepper to taste

In a large pot, dump in your butter, veggies and bacon and let simmer on medium heat until veggies are soft. Add the cream of chicken soup and milk. Stir until smooth consistency. Add parsley flakes. Add the cooked rice and chicken. Then add water until you reach your desired thickness/thinness. I let it simmer on low for about an hour while some cornbread cooked and then served, it was wonderful.

I just made this soup and it was so easy and delicious. I also highly recommend making it especially in the winter YUM! It only took about 40 mins from start to finish and was worth every minute
