Chicken Portobello and Wild Rice Soup

Another Fall day another Soup Recipe, and this ones a goodie! I usually don't include Rice or Pasta in my Soups, as I would rather have more protein and veggies filling me up, however when I came across this Soup Recipe I was so excited that it included Rice. You gotta switch things up from time to time! I think too because there is a combination of different Rices, the textures really help enhance the overall flavour of the Soup, and added different nutrients I don't normally include in my daily diet. This Soup can be on your dinner table in less than an hour, and is an extremely low maintenance Recipe with only 5 Steps. So, if you need some inspiration and/or help with What's For Dinner Tonight, look no further, well look below, the Ingredients and Directions are there. 

Enjoy and Happy Cooking!
