We enjoyed this soup with its earthy smooth flavor. It is quite different than any soup I've made. It reminds me slightly of lobster bisque and I love lobster bisque. Thank you, Mikekey for sharing, made it Best of 2021 as recommended by NorthWestGal.

This is a wonderful version of wild rice soup - we loved it! A couple tweaks -I used a little less butter for my roux and part 1/2 and 1/2 and part 1 % milk. Yummy!

This was a super delicious soup, and it's so quick to prepare, too. It has a rich depth of flavor with earthy (almost nutty-like) tones. The soup's creamy base is thick but smooth, and the ham, wild rice and other ingredients contribute a lot of flavor and made for a very nice lunch. I served it with a warmed baguette cut into thin slices (to scoop up all the delicious soup bits), and it was filling, tasty and satisfying. Thank you, Mikekey.
