Chicken Wild Rice Soup

Try this awesome recipe out!  It is fantastic.  I usually dont so mushrooms, but I did this time and they were excellent in this recipe!  Its an easy recipe too, except dont forget that you have to cook the rice and chicken also!  I totally forgot 1/2 way thru the cooking and it was a little chaotic in my kitchen that nite!!!  The place I work at has pretty darn good soup, and I had their wild rice soup the other day and got inspired to find my own recipe to try!

ENJOY!
