Wow!!! OMG!!! This soup was amazing!!! I made a few changes... no green onions or rosemary (personal disregard for the two), and used canned cubed turkey and leftover wild rice. The biggest change I made was to use plain soy milk instead of milk and of course it was slightly sweeter but that was perfectly offset by a little extra salt and pepper at the end. I will definitely make this again - it was sooooo easy!

    This was a great soup!! It was so good and I'm sure we'll be making this again, especially for OAMC. Our first batch held up great in the freezer. I took someone's advice and added a bunch of extra veggies I had left over in the freezer from a Christmas veggie tray. This recipe is really good for right after the holidays with all the leftovers. I added celery, a little broccoli, some red peppers, and mushrooms. The sherry in this recipe really does give it that extra boost, even though all I had in my pantry was the icky cooking sherry. I also used frozen turkey stock instead, and that was REALLY good...Thanks for the recipe!!

    Oh, this is soooo good!! It's creamy, but not heavy at all, nice and light! First off, my apologies to the recipe author for fiddling with the ingredients, including one main ingredient which is in the recipe name---I had leftover turkey from Thanksgiving dinner, but we didn't have a smoked turkey, just a regularly roasted bird. Next time I will try the recipe with either smoked turkey, or I think smoked duck breast sounds incredible. Thank you for posting, Pie! I added a bay leaf to step #1 and I thought mushrooms would go well in this, so in they went (also at step #1). Instead of chicken broth, I used homemade turkey stock, which I'd made from Rescued Turkey Stock, Rescued Turkey Stock. Other than those changes, I remained true to the original ingredient list, so as to be able to give a fair review. I will make this again and again! I chose it because I remembered having a Cream of Wild Rice Soup, with either chicken or turkey, in a restaurant some time ago, and it left such an impression, I was looking to recreate the feeling. There are white caps on Lake Washington today, it's a blustery, wet day, and this soup is a perfect remedy! I will post updated reviews when I try making the recipe with smoked turkey or duck.

    Just finished simmering this soup on the stove... and had to review it as I enjoyed my first bowl! Yes, I said my first because it is sooooo yummy that I will definately have to have another one! Very rich and creamy, as another reviewer said, but not at all heavy in taste or texture. I did not have any green onions on hand so I used some celery instead. I also used some wild rice that I had in the freezer and it turned out well. This is a must try recipe with all that leftover Thanksgiving turkey we all have right now. So different from a typical soup or stew, but yet it is just so comforting!!!
