Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Besides desserts and a few other things, one of my most favourite things to eat are soups. I came across this soup a few weeks ago and have excited to try it. I think wild rice is super good so this soup combined a lot of food I like. It seemed like most of my kids liked this meal too, I did have to pick the beans out for one of my daughters but other than that it was a success :) This recipe came from one of the new blogs I found. She has a really good dessert I want to try too, I have all the ingredients to make it but haven't. I should have made it this past weekend when I was eating too much, dang it ;)

1 c. chicken or turkey (shredded or cubed)
1 T. chicken base (or 2 cubes)
2 (10.5 oz.) cans cream of chicken soup
5 2/3 c. water
1 small box Uncle Ben's long wild rice (and seasoning packet)
1 small bag frozen mixed vegetables (any kind you like or none if you would prefer)

In a large pot combine water, chicken base, and wild rice. Bring to a boil. After it starts to boil, reduce the heat and cover to cook the rice (following time recommendations on the box). Add the vegetables and cook for another 10 minutes. Add the soup and the chicken. Stir until everything is heated. This recipe has 1540 calories in it which isn't very much. It could probably serve around 8 people which makes it 210 calories per serving, not bad :)
