My husband works outside about 1/2 of his day.During the winter he loves coming home to a bowl of warm soup, if there is fresh bread that makes him even happier. I love soup recipes because most are simple and give you leftovers. This is one of my all time favorite soup recipes!
If you have ever had Byerlys wild rice soup this is a perfect comparision. Pair it with some fresh bread and you got a warm fall/winter meal. I have my wild rice cooking right now for supper tonight.

Wild Rice Soup (My Mom’s Recipe)
6 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. minced onion
1/2 c. flour
2 (14 1/2 oz.) cans chicken broth
2 c. cooked wild rice
1/2 c. finely grated carrots
1/3 c. minced ham or 1/2 c. cooked chicken
1 1/2 Tbsp. chopped silvered almonds
1 c. half and half
1/2 tsp. salt
In a large saucepan, melt butter and saute onion until tender. Blend in flour and then gradually add broth. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
Stir in wild rice, carrots, ham (or chicken), almonds, and salt. Simmer about 5 minutes, blend in half and half and heat to serving temperature. If too thick, you may thin with chicken broth.
Garnish with almond slices
