Good, but not great. To me, it just seemed like it was missing something if that makes sense.

I absolutely loved this version and am planning to completely switch to it. For under 300 calories a serving, this light chicken and wild rice soup is a quick and easy way to enjoy one of those old time classic favorites. MUST TRY!!!!!!!

This turned out really well. I cut the recipe in half as it is just for one and it was excellent. The leftovers were really good too. Next time I'll add carrots and potatoes too for some veggies, but will make it again for sure.
