Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

With winter quickly approaching, this is one soup you will want to have on hand.  It can be made quickly in a pinch, or you can put it in the crockpot and cook it slowly.  You will love this one.

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 box of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp. butter

In a large stock pot, chop up the chicken breasts and saute' them in the 2 Tbsp. of butter until done.    Add 1 box of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice, the can of cream of mushroom soup + 1 can of water, and seasonings. 

Stove top:  Boil on medium heat for approximately 40 minutes, or until rice is tender and done.  Stir often to prevent sticking.  You can add more water if rice isn't done, and it becomes too thick.

Crockpot:  Place all ingredients into the crockpot, (make sure you have sautee'd the chicken first) and turn on low.  Cook for about 3 hours, stirring often.  As above, add water if necessary and continue to cook until rice is done.

Enjoy!
