This is one of my fav soups! I make it with rotisserie chicken when there isn’t handy leftover turkey.

I also make it in my instant pot because I don’t have patience for long wild/brown rice cook times.

From my notes: Instant pot: cook 20 mins for brown/wild rice. Try 5 mins for white rice.

Don’t forget sage

For frozen chicken, defrost before adding at the end. Use the saute feature if it’s still cold

This is one of my favorite fall and winter soup recipes particularly during mushroom season https://www.closetcooking.com/creamy-mushroom-chicken-and-wild-rice/

I will often add in chanterelles or other wild type mushrooms when they show up in the grocery store or farmers market stall. I am not knowledgeable enough to feel comfortable finding my own mushrooms

I make from scratch soup every week. So much soup. Soup is my jam. Sometimes soup is my nemesis. I am happy to forward some soup-y good recipes via email if you're down with that idea. This sounds delish! I just made a butternut squash apple soup, which was like warm grown-up baby food. Really it was baby food, eaten by grown-ups. It was yummy and a giant PITA to make. There were expletives spewed in the process of peeling and dicing the Butternut squash.

Get ready for so much chopping you may regret soup. However, once you eat soup, the regrets should dissipate. (I get All Recipes magazine, mostly for the soup recipes. Ina Garten will never steer you wrong.)

Yes please, please put the recipe for the apple cake here! I am going to an orchard tomorrow and I know I will be coming home with some apples and of course apple cider donuts.

Here is all time favorite broccoli soup recipe; I love the chunks of broccoli and carrots. It's a little work, but so worth it. https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/broccoli-cheese-soup/

I have discovered instant pot soups. My primary go to is beef stew. Recently pulled up a chicken & rice soup. The other I make often is a low carb( ish ) minestrone. But yeah, get some broth, a protein and throw veggies you like in: congrats, tasty eats!

Here are a bunch of my favorites, but I also make what I call a Scottish Hot Pot...balls of sausage dropped into a vegetable soup, with barley. Delicious!

Actually, that can be a lovely soup as long as you use apples with a bit of bite, but not sour. Too sweet and it gets cloying.

I have way too many soup recipes. Borscht tonight and cauliflower-cheese soup in a few days.
