Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

I have been away from my recipe blog over the summer.
The early stages of my pregnancy prevented me to cook much. I am feeling so much better now and have many yummy recipe's to share with you!

This is one of our families favorite soup recipes.
With the cool fall air settling in up here in Michigan I get really excited for warm soups and yummy breads.
This is a also a great company pleaser, I always get complements when I serve it.
I like to serve it with homemade rolls and a fresh green salad.

Tip: To make the prep time faster, I always precook my chicken and Rice-A-Roni earlier in the day keep it in the fridge until ready to make dinner.
