Wild Rice Mushroom Soup
“I think mushrooms often get used only as a seasoning or added flavour, but I think they are delicious enough to be the main part of a meal. This recipe uses a large quantity of mushrooms and the result is delicious. Even though this contains some dairy, it freezes quite well!” —Wendy Campbell, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania
