Ham and Wild Rice Soup
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The soup is easy to prepare and has a creamy consistency. As with any soup containing rice, it's best to consume it the same day, otherwise the rice may swell. You can cook the soup using vegetable broth, meat broth, or simply water. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs.
