Cream of Wild Rice Soup is a Minnesota tradition. The owner of The Secret Garden used to make this soup from scratch, chopping and sautéeing, measuring and stirring. When they discovered how to streamline the prep without sacrificing any flavor, this soup mix quickly became their #1 best seller. 

Instructions: Stir package ingredients into 7 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook all day in a slow-cooker or 2 to 3 hours in a pot on your stove. Before serving, add 1/2 cup of plain half-and-half, dairy or non-dairy. Add cubed cooked chicken or ham, if desired. Leftovers can be frozen. Ideal for reheating at work.
